[Li...] Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 We have parts that get a developed bore shape in the center of a cylinder. We use curve to inspect it. Engineers give me the points that go 360 around this "developed bore" The guy here before me would bring these points in as "text deliminted" file. It comes from an excel spreadsheet. Every point is shown with X,Y. Its kinda hard to explain because I don't really know much about it. Has anyone done something like this before? Someone with a good knowledge of curve might be able to assist.

[Ri...] Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 If you are bringing in an txt file with the nominals you will need the X,Y,Z, and vector data. Create a blank Curve - open it up - drop down where it says Nominal point - select Nominal Geometry Manipulations - Read nominal values - Select ASCII Files - hit the folder icon, and select the txt file.

[Li...] Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Richard, so if this is in an excel file, do I need to so a "save as"? What do I save it as that will be able to be pulled into Curve?

[Ri...] Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. I've never messed with files in Excel as they aren't natively supported. Try copying and pasting everything into a blank notepad, and saving that as a .txt Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/15912-curvewho-has-a-grasp-of-this/#findComment-87538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[He...] Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. 2d curve does a decent (not perfect) job on guessing the vectors based on the surrounding ones. 3d curve has no clue.curve.txt Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/15912-curvewho-has-a-grasp-of-this/#findComment-87540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Go to file and do a save as and choose the drop down arrow and choose 'tab delimited'. It will then save as a txt file that can be read into curve.

[Da...] Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Do you have PCM? I'm wondering if he was using PCM to pull data from Excel. Thanks Danny Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/15912-curvewho-has-a-grasp-of-this/#findComment-87544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
