TclCommand exteriors

[Brian]

Hi Guys,

TclCommand exteriors does not allow for Tool diameter.

Many Thanks

Hi,

That’s because this command just pick something that exists. From a Geometry object that holds a collection of polygons it will create a new object made out of the exteriors of the polygons in the source object.
Imagine a doughnut with a hole inside. Exteriors will get the outside circle of the doughnut(s).

ok, using the GUI I can do this:

• load the outline gerber and select it
• click selected tab, tool dia: 3.0
• click Ext Geo button

can this process be replicated with a TclCommand?

What you are looking for is the TclCommand Isolate. But for now it can do only full isolation (no exteriors only, no interiors only).

[Marius Stanciu]

This is not a bug but a knowledge problem.

Ok thanks, will wait for an update.

Hi,

isolate() can do now also the exteriors and interiors buffering by using the new parameter iso_type

[Brian]

wow, Thanks.

TclCommand isolatedoes not use -outname but does work
