[Ja...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I've been trying for some time now and the best I can do is produce a text file of points. Is there any way to create a dxf file from nominal points of a 2d curve i created on a cad model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 You cannot export the nominals into a DXF, but you can export the nominals into a ASCII text file or VDA (which should be able to be converted to a DXF). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Richard, Thank you for quick response, and is the best way to produce an ASCII text file by going to Resources-> Results to File-> Type 1 (nominal)? Where does it dump this file then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Use the text file to recall the points back into the curve (Recall Points >> From File). The curve will now see “actuals” and you’ll be able to export them to DXF format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 I cant seem to pull this off, anyone with a few more instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ja...] Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Thank you for taking the time to do that, it was a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Richard, It will not work the way you’ve shown. You have to create the text file of points first, then recall the file back into the feature (or a copy) using Recall Points >> From File. Then you can export to DXF.

[Ri...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. Ah yes - thank you for the clarification. That's because what I didn't didn't have any actuals. You could go into Simulation, to generate perfect actuals, and then it would work. I have attached the corrected gif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Yup, that'll work as well. You'd just want to make sure the measuring strategy is ideal so that false deviations are not generated, even with dispersion turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
