Interpolate Objects

This function is available if two point objects or two line objects are selected. Both line objects must have the same number of vertices! The function can be found either in the Object menu or when you click the Interpolate Objects icon in the Edit Functions Toolbar.

You can either...

... interpolate line objects like contour lines or

... interpolate point objects e.g. when you want to draw an avenue.

Line objects

1. Create the upper line with a certain number of vertices.
2. Create the lowermost line with the same number of vertices like the upper line.
3. Select both lines (Select Multiple Objects).
4. Choose the Interpolate Objects function.
5. The Interpolate Objects dialog opens.
6. Enter the number of objects you want to insert between the two lines.
7. Choose a symbol for the inserted lines.
8. Click the OK button to finish the interpolation.

Point objects

1. Place the first point object and the last object on the drawing area.
2. Mark both lines and select Interpolate Objects in the Object menu or click the Interpolate Objects button in the toolbar
3. Number of objects: Indicate the number of interpolated objects between the marked objects.
4. Click OK: OCAD generates the missing objects.

-Inspect the Symbol in the Interpolate Objects dialog box for correct interpolating.

-Instead of using Interpolate Objects for point objects its also possible to use the Drawing multiple point objects tool.
