Example of complete polygon command

autodeskguest

I think that working with polygons in a script is never used.

Therefore I will repeat the question how to produce a polygon in a script

again here in this forum.

In the help file there is a explanation of the polygon syntax as:

POLYGON . curve . ...

But there is no actual example.

I need a polygon that goes from (-50 0) to 'half circle' (0 50) to

'straight' (0 36) to 'half circle' (-36 0) and back to (-50 0) to complete

the polygon.

The reason for a script is that I have to repeat the script for several

designs that may have small differences in dimensions that are easier done

in a script than on a board drawing.

    What makes you think so?

    Just follow exactly the given help there (and in the help for WIRE,

    where the curve/radius parameters are explained - including example!):

     

    poly .3 (0 -50) @-50 (0 50) (0 36) @+36 (0 -36) (0 -50);

     

    (Assuming that you really meant the half circle, opposed to the

    coordinates given above.)

    No example to be found on the Web

    Never found that, sorry

     

    poly .3 (0 -50) @-50 (0 50) (0 36) @+36 (0 -36) (0 -50);

     

    Created the following lines to make a complete circle

    1. Mark components placement area for mechanical clearance

    Change Layer tNames;

    Change Pour Hatch;

    Poly .2 (0 -50) @-50 (0 50) (0 31.7) @+31.7 (0 -31.7) (0 -50);

    Poly .2 (0 -50) @+50 (0 50) (0 31.7) @-31.7 (0 -31.7) (0 -50);
