Here's a better version of the same thing. It uses a different way to make the Circles that's faster [try both with 100 Circles per edge, and you'll really see what I mean]: uploads/353260/CirclesFillPolygonII.lsp

Since it is YOUR thread perhaps YOU should do the summary. Seems only fair.

It doesn't use constraints, but assuming Circle 3 in your diagram is supposed to remain tangent to the crossing Lines in the middle, the criteria in the diagram will be met by using CFP and 5 Circles along each edge. And yes, the CFP command is built to require closed Polylines, because it would be hugely more complicated otherwise, since separate Lines have no inherent relationship to each other. Just determining whether a collection of six Lines form a regular hexagon would be a difficult task, considering that the Lines might not all have been drawn in the same direction around the shape, and other complications. |

Select Polyline triangle/square/hexagon to fill with Circles:
The program is expecting to see polylines not lines. That is how it was written. The code would have to be altered to be able to use lines. |
