Draw Lines break at opening

[Anonymous]

Hi there, I have to draw lines break at the openings in the drawing. It much like hatch on the region with holes in it, but I want to draw lines knowing where is my opening and break my lines at opening. Does anybody have any idea??

Thanks so much,

can you attach a copy of the drawing?

thanks for quick reply. Here is the drawing. I will prefer drawing those blue lines instead of hatch, so i need to find out the openings to break my lines.

thanks again,

wrong drawing, this one is the correct one.

Is the user going to select the sapes and lines?

[Anonymous]

no, all the lines with layers and linetype will be designed in the program, user only has to pick the object which will be the boxes with openings on it.

thanks for reply.

The code can really get complex, depending on the shapes. Let me ask you, why don't you want to use hatch for this?

😞 not really is hatching. I just need a way to figure out how to get the edges of the openings.

You can find the edges of the shapes by using the IntersectWith function. When the line intersects with the opening, however your code would need to be intelligent in order for it to handle complex shapes.

Unless of course the only cut outs are going to be circles and rectangular
