Curve along a cylinder_Points in (X, Y, A)

[shanghongcao]

The follower pin positions are given in TXT file in (X, Y, A). There are two followers in this file. I want to know how to build the two curves around the cylinder.
It would be great to have some code to let me select the cylinder size of any size, position and orientation.
The quality of the points is very good.
Thank you again for your great help.

Exactly how many times are you going to post what is, for all intents and purposes, the same basic modeling problem?

Hi John, Why do you complain about it? You may think it is very basic and simple. But up till now, I have NOT seen any solid idea (solution) from you. It may not be exactly what you think how simple it is. Can you please help to solve the 'BASIC problem' as you called?

I think enough very capable users have already tried to help you with all of them concluding that what you're trying to do is A) NOT a built-in capability of NX, and B) that it can be approximated only if you're willing to use custom written applications.

Thank you for your quick response. I wish to build the model with standard NX built-in capability. But so far not successfully. The only solution found up till now is using journal provided from Frank.

How many times, and by how many people, are you going to have to be told that there are NO built-in NX functions which will give you what you're looking for?

Continuing to ask for the same functionality ,but using a slightly different model, will NOT help you find a canned-solution. It's not there, PERIOD!!!!!!
