I would like to create multiple polygons with a for loop depending on some info from the user, right now i just create one at a time because i cant iterate an id name?
Now i go like:
Now i go like:
skRegularPolygon(sketch, "polygon2", {
"center" : pointArray[2],
"firstVertex" : vector(pointArray[2][0]+(4)*millimeter, pointArray[2][1]+(4)*millimeter),
"sides" : 4
});
skRegularPolygon(sketch, "polygon3", {
"center" : pointArray[3],
"firstVertex" : vector(pointArray[3][0]+(4)*millimeter, pointArray[3][1]+(4)*millimeter),
"sides" : 4
});
skRegularPolygon(sketch, "polygon4", {
"center" : pointArray[4],
"firstVertex" : vector(pointArray[4][0]+(4)*millimeter, pointArray[4][1]+(4)*millimeter),
"sides" : 4
});
BUT.. i would like to do something like
BUT.. i would like to do something like
for (var i = 0; i < count; i += 1)
{
skRegularPolygon(sketch, "polygon" + i, {
"center" : pointArray[i],
"firstVertex" : vector(pointArray[i][0]+(4)*millimeter, pointArray[i][1]+(4)*millimeter),
"sides" : 4
});
}
It is the ID that gives me an error because it needs to be unique..

in this case id should be a string like "polygon"~i, because plus operator is overloaded for id type to create id hierarhy

You can also do something like id + i + "polygon", which will also work. I tend to use this structure when there's multiple different features within the loop, so all features at loop iteration i have Id prefix of id + i.

That is a sketch entity id - it has to be a string, not Id. Sorry we made it confusing.0
