Hatch Pattern?

Hi All,

I was working on a project and was wondering if anyone has seen a hatch pattern (or AutoLisp script) that would fill an area with puzzle shapes (that interlock properly)?

Drawing it manually is a bit of a pain...

Ideally, they would be seperate entities that could then be moved around etc. Right now I'm trying to trace over a bitmap, making each piece a polyline so that the piece could be moved.

TIA Steve

What you describe would be pretty much impossible to do with a hatch pattern. However, you might be able to save some time by using some sort of criss-cross pattern that emulates the layout of a jigsaw puzzle; then you could use something like the BOUNDARY command to capture the outlines of the individual pieces, which would be independently movable. ___

Not really. See my previous post about using polylines and the BOUNDARY command. I've tried it and it works. ___

Robert sent me his file and it helped me out greatly. If I get time to play around with some scripts later, I'll see about automating it, but just having the component drawing he sent me has cut down my time quite a bit.

Thanks again folks. Steve
