Batch Smooth (BatSmo)

Type: Batch Application

 

Smooths existing lines by placing Spline or B-Spline points on the lines.

Detailed Description

Searches for lines within the layers specified,  smooths the lines using a Spline or B-Spline method with user specified smoothing parameters.

Layers that are turned off will not be considered even if they are specified.

Example

BatchSmooth_Before

 

This illustrates a line before and after running Batch Smooth. The top line is the original line with four points. The middle line was processed using a Smoothing method of B-Spline and a B-Spline increment of 2.0. The bottom line was processed using a Smoothing method of Spline and a Spline chord length of 0.06.

Parameters for Batch Smooth

BatchSmooth_Params

Workspaces to consider

Defines the workspaces to consider. Options are Current workspace or All open workspaces.

Layers to search

Defines the layers to search that contain lines to be processed. This parameter may be entered as a number line.

Smoothing method

Specifies the smoothing method to apply to the lines. This can be either B-Spline or Spline.

Spline chord length (in|mm)

If Spline smoothing method is chosen, this specified the chord length to use when placing spline points.

B-Spline increment (1-10)

If B-Spline smoothing method is chosen, this specified the B-Spline increment to use when placing B Spline points.
