Can NX7.5 output polylines?
Can NX7.5 output polylines?
(OP)
I am working with a customer who says he has to have polylines for his CNC machine as their software can't cope with the splines in the cutting file?
Can NX output polylines, or even better, closed polylines from flat pattern data?
Thanks

If that still does not yield the proper result, you may need to jump through one more hoop and use the "cleanup utility" in the sheet metal environment BEFORE using Convert to Sheet Metal and generating a flat pattern. The part does not have to be "formed" to do any of this, it can start flat to go through this cleaup process.

edit the \DXFDWG\dxfdwg.def and add a line on the end:
UGI_SPLINE_EXPORT = polyline
so it looks like the image. Then you can export DXF or DWG from NX.
We tested with a simple studio spline exported from NX, opened in AutoCAD and it identifies as a Polyline.
