Pathway Generator from 2D-Lines

New component published in the eCatalog 4.10: Pathway Generator from 2D-Lines (found under Navigation, manufacturer Visual Components). The component allows you to generate Pathways automatically from 2D lines.

How to use

  1. Import the 2D Drawing including only the pathways
  2. In Component Properties panel, use Select 2D Drawing to pick the imported lines
  3. Define the AreaWidth, MinAreaLength, MinCurveRadius
  4. Click Populate Pathways
  5. Check the output window for messages
  6. If too many lines warning was given, simplify the drawing or adjust MaxAmountOfLines higher

@ahven Hi, I encountered a problem while using this component: following the tutorial above, I imported a DWG file for the first time and was able to generate the path normally; I found that there was a problem with the path and modified the DWG file again. After importing it again, I followed the same steps but failed to generate the path. I tried multiple times, but only succeeded on the first attempt. I uploaded two versions of the DWG file

path-2D v1.dwg (13.4 MB)
path-2D v2.dwg (13.7 MB)

I am currently re importing the first version of the DWG file, but I am unable to generate the path automatically. It’s strange,

I have only succeeded in my first test so far

Hi, I have tried your file. You have to explode the DWG, then it works. I have also cleaned up the file.

Decompose? Are you referring to breaking down blocks in CAD? I checked and I didn’t set it as a block,

I am on Autocad. Here it says EXPLODE:
