How to make a line bending at the 2D view intersection of two lines? 1

[raby]

Hi, friends,

Just as expressed in my subject, and perhaps you had the experience about using microsoft visio to draw a flow chart, when there are two lines with an intersection, the last drew will appear a bending at the intersection, showing here are with no actual intersection. Now I wanna realize this function in AutoCAD with VBA development, but could you anybody tell me some details about it? Thanks.

In AutoCAD there are a few ways to turn one line into two, the simpleist is the "break at point" command.

If you mean one line has a small "bulge" over the other line, as is used in piping drawings, yes I've seen lisp routines to do this. How to do it in VBA....nope, can't help there.

Why dont you draw your flow chart in ACAD then plot it on a ANSI A size template to be included in your report instead of making your flow chart in VBA to be exported to ACAD.

CarIB, yeah, just like what you have done, then could you give me a hand about lisp routines?Thanks!

Check out a "hop.lsp" routine at this site:
