Here's a new one. Anyone know of a way to convert the surface continuity analysis results into usable data? Basically, I just want all of those curves so I can then throw a surface through it. I'm using it to create parting line runout on a complex surface profile of a part. It would save me a ton of time if I could figure out a way to make those results usable. As they are you can't do anything with them.

Take care...
 
When you perform the analysis, are your curvature combs more or less the U & V iso curves? If so, use Insert -> Curve Operation -> Extract -> Isoparametric curves. I would recommend extracting in both U and V directions in order to get a mesh of curves.

Hope that's what you were wanting.

I didn't try Iso's but I tried all in face and work view...no go....it doesn't recognize it as any kind of feature it can do anything with....I'll try the Iso command though.

Thanks
