How to transform curved polylines into drip tapes?

[marcioagr]

Hello!
I have a project where the drip lines were drawn in curves in the autocad (polylines), when I transform these polylines into drip tapes in Irricad 18 it does not recognize as a single drip tape, creating "JUNCTIONS" in them ...... ..
I would like to know if there is a way to make the union in a way that it recognizes as a single ribbon.

Unfortunately the Irricad CAD Engine does not recognise polylines with curved segments, and splits them into separate lines and arcs when importing.

The most efficient way I can think of to work around this is to pre-process the lines in AutoCAD. As described here, you can use the CONVERTPOLY command to change the (light) "Polylines" to (heavy) "2D Polylines" and then the PLXL command (from the Lisp file) to convert the curved segments to multiple straight line segments. These can then be imported into Irricad as single entity polylines with straight segments, that can then be converted into tapes.

Failing that, a more manual method can be done inside Irricad itself - convert the arc segment of the line to a tape, then move the end points of that tape (using the Move tool) to the ends of the straight segments.

Sorry it is a bit convoluted!

OK my friend!
I understood it perfectly.
I also think that what is lacking in Irricad Standialone would be a tool for creating automatic drip blocks when the planting lines are in curve shapes ............ this is very common here in Brazil in areas irregular.
but without a doubt Irricad is one of the best!
I am very satisfied with my investment!
