wire cutting drawings without splines
wire cutting drawings without splines
(OP)
Hi Everyone
We are using UG NX 6.0, when we make a wire cutting drawing using UG the profile outputs as a spline, is there any way to make this output as lines and arcs instead? it mostly happens with blocks that have 3D shape on them. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

RE: wire cutting drawings without splines
While you can use "simplify curves" to get basic lines and arcs from splines... they are typically a pain to use for generating G code. Just too many tiny entities.
If you chose to trim the surfaces from clean basic 2D curves when making the blank or strip... it may walk through the drafting more cleanly. It's been a while for me and I'm not remembering a lot of detail though. Sorry.
