Export CMM XYZIJK from SolidWorks
Export CMM XYZIJK from SolidWorks
(OP)
Hello there. Our company machines alot of 3D forms on CNC. With our previous CAD software, we had a script that extracted the XYZIJK of points placed on a surface. It would create a table for the operator to use and generate a TXT file formatted with the CMM's coding language to inspect those points. It was not fully automated, as you had to select start, end points of each vector. It was much faster than measuring each point and writing your own CMM code.
I found this (http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=160366) article through search which is somewhat useful, but it only discusses the XYZ of the coordinate. I think I would need to either extract line data (start, end) or point with axis to accomplish this.
Im looking for ideas / code on how to do this in Solidworks 2010. Or maybe there is software add-ins that do this already?

You can import the cad files directly into both of these packages and set up your CMM programming.
There is also Accumetria http://www.accumetria.com/
Pas CMM For SolidWorks http
There may be some other partner solutions on the SolidWorks website.
