Extended Object 48 "Block Pattern Filling" (Entity Type "Extended Object")

The extended object "Block Pattern Filling" is defined by CAD6studio and CAD6industrie.

Creation of this extended object is not supported in CAD6starter and CAD6engine Eco! If already created, it can be displayed and modified generally, but not modified parametrically.

Data Block Sequence

Data Block 1000( Matrix )

Data Block 1001( Frame )

Data Block 1010( LibraryName )

Data Block 1011( BlockName )

Data Block 1012( OriginX, OriginY, BlockRotate, BlockScale, XStep1, XStep2, YStep1, YStep2, LineStep1, LineStep2, Rotate, Unused1, Unused2 )

These data blocks are followed by a sequence of data blocks identical to those stored in an object of type "Surface", see Object 13 "Surface".

LineStep1

[double] Horizontal offset between adjacent lines in multiples of the block's width.

LineStep2

[double] Additional horizontal offset between adjacent lines in millimeters.

Rotate

[double] Overall rotation of the whole pattern in [rad]

Unused1
