    Exporting Splin or Curve Data Points to a text or Excel File

    John, I just tested the program that you updated, it gives me an error if I chose to extract 500 points from a spline curve. I looked at the source code for the GRIP program and it looks identical to the one you sent me in May. KUAERO

    Exporting Splin or Curve Data Points to a text or Excel File

    John, Thank you for your input and for updating the current GRIP program to extract up to 1000 points from a spline/section curve. Your suggestions sound like a very feasible method to get around what I had described earlier in my previous posting. I wish we had the license to write a GRIP...

    Exporting Splin or Curve Data Points to a text or Excel File

    John, It has been a while since I posted on this thread. I have put the GRIP program that you created and sent me last month to a lot of good use. I had a question on this forum specific to your program and that I would like to expand it if need be. At the moment with the GRIP program you...

    Orienting A Section View from the Base View of a Part

    But if I were to use pictorial section view I could pick an orientation for which the section detail is to be made and then only placed on the drawing sheet.

    Orienting A Section View from the Base View of a Part

    And that would also mean that I can change the orientation of the section detail after I have made a section view from the base part using pictorial view if I am understanding it correctly.

    Orienting A Section View from the Base View of a Part

    Thanks John. If I use pictorial section view would it give me the same detail as using the section view option? I think that would be great if I can orient the view of a section view using pictorial section instead if it gives the same sectioned detail.

    Orienting A Section View from the Base View of a Part

    I have a section view of a model in UG drafting but the orientation of the section view is not what I had intended for. Is there a functionality in UG NX 7.o Drafting mode which will allow me to change the orientation of the object shown in the section view. Thanks to all your advice!

    Drawing Templates

    Thank you so much for your advice and suggestions. i believe that it will be very helpful as I set on another task. Is there a way in UG NX to use the same drawing template for different sized sheets? KUAERO

    Drawing Templates

    John, I am just curious whether you would manually edit each section name cut if for example I was to use the drawing template on a wing part of larger length. In that case, is it possible to use the drawing template for the dummy part by importing it into which ever part that I am currently...

    Exporting Splin or Curve Data Points to a text or Excel File

    John, Thank you for replying at this hour with the modified version of the GRIP file you sent me, would love to put it to test first thing tomorrow at the office. By the way, does the program extract points that are the defining points on a spline/curve or are they returning values for knot pts...

    Exporting Splin or Curve Data Points to a text or Excel File

    Didier, Thank you for the file attached and coming up with an alternate solution, will put it to test tomorrow and let you know how it works. Can you explain what param 1 and param 2 does and why the value for evaluation type is 1? Also, does the function return defining points along the curve...

    Exporting Splin or Curve Data Points to a text or Excel File

    John, You must be a big fan of Law and Order. +) Thank you very much for your kind help. I really appreciate it. I could get around the coordinate system that way to output the results I want. I will probably play around with the program again this afternoon.

    Exporting Splin or Curve Data Points to a text or Excel File

    John, I managed to make it work and I am glad that you had helped figure this out for me. The only thing I have to note is that the X is suppose to be the Y for the airfoil in cartesian coordinate and the same for Y being the X. This should not be a big problem as I would have to manually sort...

    Exporting Splin or Curve Data Points to a text or Excel File

    John, I amy have been skipping a step, do you suggest I create poiunts on the curve first using the fit option and then only exporting those points by executing the GRIP file? I am sorry for my amatuer type questions but I may have caught myself not doing it correctly.

    Exporting Splin or Curve Data Points to a text or Excel File

    Yes, I tried it on the sample file i sent you. I was not able to see it highlight at all and i tried selecting all the other curves in the part. Should I be able to select them right after I specify the number of points?

    Exporting Splin or Curve Data Points to a text or Excel File

    John, Thank you for sending me this file. Ideally, if this feature works I would have the data written to a text file and saved for each section on the wing. Also, have the routine loopp back to prompt me for another set of curves to extract data from and so on and so forth to reate a data file...
