scale a polygon

autodeskguest

Hello,

 

Is there an easy way to scale a polygon ?

 

I am using polygons to draw clean logos on silk or copper (with import bmp,

then drawing the polygon over it).

This process is rather boring when generating various size of the same logo.

 

I was wondering if there would be a way to scale the polygon, for ex using

ULP.

Taking as hypothesis that the origin of the footprint in the library is

either at the center or in a corner of the logo,

if each coordinate is scaled by x1,5 or x2,0 this would scale easily the

whole polygon.

 

Thanks,

 

Best regards,

    Depends on what you call easy.

    Put only the polygon on a board or lib and export it to a script. Use

    any programming language to scales the values of the script and then

    import it into a new lib.

  • Thanks Paul, it worked well.

    I have VB6 code available.
