Spline/Curve export to coordinates
Spline/Curve export to coordinates
(OP)
Hello,
I found thread 561-272761 and was able to use the first Grip file in it to export information on a single spline (up to 100 points). I would like to export x/y coordinates for a spline/curve that I create through text curves and imported splines with more points though. I ran into a few issues when using the last Grip file on thread 561-272761 and it would not actually execute the file for me. I really only need to export one spline at a time, I do not need it to run several splines/curves.
Thanks,
J

Jerry1423 - Yes - text curves meaning curves made into letters (or insert->curve->text)
This is all sparking since I need to engrave various letters, symbols, etc. on a Swiss Lathe. If I get the points, I can create a Macro to create the program from the points.
RE: Spline/Curve export to coordinates
I.e English characters only and no spaces in the filename, NOR the directory.
The grip program will read the name of the part, and the directory then name the textfile "similarly" ( i.e 12345_box_00.prt -> 12345_box_00.txt ) in the same directory as the part itself.
Do for example not place the part file on the desktop because this directory path might contain spaces.

Tomas
