Re: flat patterns as closed poly-lines?

Possible solution to #1. Save the SW flat pattern drawing as a dwg
file. Open the dwg file in AutoCAD or DWG Editor and use the PEDIT
command to join all the lines into a polyline.

Type PEDIT into the command line and hit enter. Choose "m" for
multiple and window select all the lines, hit enter. Say "yes" when
asked to convert to polylines. Choose teh "j" option to join the
lines and hit enter. You should now have a closed polyline region.

Hi,

I have a lot of flat patterns to export for laser cutting. I'd like
to be able to do 2 things:

1: Have the profile be a closed polyline instead of multiple
disconnected line segments.
2: Eliminate the bend lines (secondary)

Any ideas for this?

Thanks,

Zander
