hatching angle in mirrored inserts
hatching angle in mirrored inserts
hi,
does anybody know how to calculate the hatching angle as a part of mirrored insert of block. we import dxf-hatches in our cad and we calc the angles so:
angle = oddbblockreference::rotation() + oddbhatch:atternangle() + odhatchpatternline::m_dlineangle
it works fine while the inserts isn't mirrored. in mirrored inserts is the scalefactor x negative. is it sign of mirror? how we have to caculate the real angles? ans is not the angle dependent of mirror-axis?
thank you in advance

besides rotation and mirrored scale block reference's normal may effect the actual hatching angle. even if all geometry is in xy plane normal can be (0,0,-1).
reliable method is to take vector rotated by some angle, transform it matrix (oddbblockreference::blocktransform()) and to determine it's angle.
btw, hatch has method to get pattern definition which is already scaled and rotated by hatch's scale and rotation.
