Command Line Polygon

autodeskguest

Hi all,

 

Is there a document somewhere that explains the command line options for

polygon?  Polygon has from, to, angle, width, layer, pour, name, etc.  How

can I do this from a command line?

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

  • Actually, the help menu doesn't.

     

    I'd like to add a polygon in a script file where I do several post-route

    operations.  The help menu doesn't help me figure out out to set the

    dimensions and location of the polygon, or how to set the remaining values

    I mentioned in my original post.

     

    i.e., if I can type it in on the command line, that same command would work

    in the script file.

     

    I can create a polygon using the graphics capabilities, but that's not what

    I'm looking for.

    if it's not a parameter of the polygon command itself, use the change

    command beforehand to set them up

     

    try this as an example:

     

          change layer top; change width 50mil; change rank 3; ch pour

    hatch; polygon foobar (0 0) (1 0) +180 (0 0);

    Thanks Lorenz.  That helps too.  But you did get one thing wrong.  The

    reason it didn't help is because I am helpless.  image
