#line avoiding text
Hi all, I've got a problem and I'd be very appreciative of any suggestions
you might be able to offer. What I need to do is draw a line that
automatically breaks if it is crossing any text. For example:
————- G ——— W — A ————–
The way I accomplish this now is to draw a circle around the letter, draw
the line, use trim to trim the part of the line inside the circle, and then
delete the circle. As you can imagine, this gets very tedious very
quickly. I noticed a LISP routine in a recent issue of either Cadalyst or
Cadence which will let you draw a circle "over" a line and automatically
trim the line. This would be an improvement, but I was wondering if anyone
can think of an even better way to automate this. I'm an AutoLISP novice
(written a handful of simple utilities), but I'm willing to learn if that's
what it takes. Thanks!
