Creation of polylines




Sometimes it becomes necessary to create polylines that follow a certain path as a string of short segments. Here's a little trick that easily helps to solve this task.

In order to create these polylines, it is sometimes necessary to put the single line segments together to form a full path.

First, create the desired curve with a Bézier curve in a separate file. Then, export this to another file format that does not support Bézier curves. By converting the file, the Bézier curve is transformed into a polyline. Formats that do not support Bézier curves are HPGL and CGM version 1.

After the conversion, you can import this file into your illustration. Thus, you have the desired result available for further use.
