used this routine and got the results, scaled to desired size, attached.
(C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2004\Sample\VBA There is a README_MainVBA.TXT file, which describes how to use the macro for -Map2Globe.Dwg: This sample generates 3D Polylines on a Sphere from 2D polylines.)
trying to come up with the shapes to extrude in order to create a continent "skin" for wireframe globe.
a ten foot diameter wireframe globe, to be made of pipe, will have plating that is cut out in shapes of the continents, rolled to match, then attached.
the flate layouts should be easy to derive, but i need the "curved" continents extrusions, in place, for my wireframe in order for presentation.
working in acad2004 on windows xp
any help will be greatly appreciated.
