Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will try them out and see what happens when I get home. The only reason I am skeptical of a points based vs equation based line is I am worried the spline wont work correctly. Its like busting up an involute into steps and i know that gear cutters work on...
I have never written a macro much less looked at one but I found these for Pro-E for involute curves which I would imagine could be translated for the polygon splines. Is looking into making a macro a possible solution or should I not waste my time looking into it...
Anna,
Is there any way to import the data as a complete line and not a set of finite points that I try and fit a line to. I guess I could do it on an large number of degree increments but I am concerned that the SW line fit will not be a continuous equation line and a number of finite straight...
Hello everyone,
I need to model a stoffel spline (http://stoffelpolygon.com/) in order to get the geometry to a cnc grinding machine in the form of a dwg file. I would love to be able to model this correctly in solidworks but if there is a quick cut to a dwg file then I will take that as well...
