    Mouse button customisation

    I have a five button mouse. Can I customise the spare buttons for such things as view orbit and pan? (Help - is none!) Thanks, Paul http://www.amecds.com/welcome.html

    Point cloud generation on a surface

    We’re almost there! I found this query by “APPENG” (http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=55648 ) from 2003. Using his Macro, we can extract the points to a spreadsheet (thanks Jon). Now if we can come up with a speedy way of generating the points, I think we have it more or less cracked...

    Point cloud generation on a surface

    I have been able to verify from the models I could open with AutoCAD, that the surface is very accurate(2xe10-6mm). We need to get "buy off" for each model though, so I need a more robust, expedient, and reliable method of achieving my points. Typically I need about 120 points on each surface...

    Point cloud generation on a surface

    The surface was generated by a sketched ellipse, which was then revolved. Theoretically the model should be accurate. However we must prove to our customer that the surface generated by the SW software is in fact accurate - to nanometres. Even if I knew of a way to drop a point cloud onto the...

    Point cloud generation on a surface

    We have some SW models with "surface revolved" elliptical surfaces (a reflector). These are to be CNC machined to a high degree of accuracy, but we need to prove that the model itself is accurate. Ideally it would be desirable to generate a point cloud on the surface and extract the numbers to...
