equaly spaced holes

[DODGERFAN]

either i need a big rock to hide under or a tall building to jump off of.

[John Summers]

Starting with 2 lines and 2 arcs, break one of the lines on the CL. Create spline from curves, starting at the break. Break spline into 26 pieces.

attachment above is correct

I believe it is out by a teeny bit actually. Take a look at my attachment, and see if that works better for you. The orange circles are the ones I made.

 

 

26 EQUALLY SPACED HOLES_LEIGH.MCX-5

I got it i think thanks everybody

[Festus]

one starts on +Y center the other on +X center

same here!

DODGER, I have it, all holes analyze symmetrical & eq. spaced to the tenth if you need it.

kind of a PITA but I will post it if needed

no splines either...

[DODGERFAN]

same here!

yea I was off. after I learned the proper method (thanks John) I brought up the level with my old holes and the level with the new ones and I can see where I dropped the ball....

Thanks Keith, but I think I have it now. But if you feel like posting it anyway I'm sure alot of people will learn from it. Thanks man!

Analyzed the contour found perimeter to be 1488.709

divide by 26 = 57.25804

broke top line at midpoint

create point segment, distance = 57.25804

broke the top line again at the last point, that "leftover line segment" was 50.242

create point segment on the arc, distance = (57.25804 - 50.242) = 7.01604

keep only the second point created, delete the first at the arc's endpoint and all others but the 2nd

broke the arc at that point

create point segment on the arc, distance = 57.25804

repeat the process for the leftover section of the arc....

xform mirror the rest

 

 

How did you & John do it?

This should be way easier than it is

kinda like my spiral staircase example a while back

we need the ability to break a CHAIN at a distance (or equal # of breaks) & to be able to control where the first break occurs

[Festus]

Kieth i got he same result like this.

 

broke the line at centerpoint.

create spline/curves spline by selecting line beside break point

create point segments

amount of point are 27 (since start and end are same point)

delete multiples

 

If I have a spline that does not connect and i want equal number of points spaced equally along spline but not on the endpoints i take the number of points wanted + 2 and delete the endpoints.

What about:

Break top line at centerpoint

Create Spline/Curves/Chain (selecting line at breakpoint)

Modify/Break/Many Pieces/By Length/Number of Segments (26)

 

I think it gives the same numbers

Lil late to the party but this is how i did it.

 

 

Analyze contour

 

/13

 

drew arcs@intersection

 

measured error /13

 

redrew arcs with error figured in

 

points @ intersection

 

last hole had a couple tenths error but plenty close for me.

points could have also been placed @centers.

 

Mirror on Y and good to go.......

 

 

couldnt get break many to do what I wanted it to.
