Exporting 2d curve points for PCM.

[[Cl...]]

I have a family of parts, same geometry, different sizes. The area being measured is an open face (concave/prismatic valley) I create the curves ahead of time for all the sizes, and export them as .txt files and "Nominal values/Normal vectors". They are
easy enough to recall into a FFS for each size, but I want to utilize PCM here. Can I save them as .para files to use in PCM?

You can create a variable (i.e. curvePath) for the path to your nominal files and use it in the "Read Nominal Values" in the curve. The "Import to CNC" option needs to be checked so the nominals will load with every run.
You can then use the path in your .para files.

Many thanks!

Hello,

A little bit late to the topic, but I did the same thing to automate import.
The problem is that my variable for curve path in the File Selection does not update automatically when I run the program, only when opening the Formula tab manually.
Have you already had the same problem? Do you have a solution? I run on Calypso 2023.

 It absolutely works as I have done this with great success. Where do you have the code placed?

I first wrote it directly in the File Selection Formula (as shown in the post image), and then tried to create a variable in the pre-program parameters. However, both didn't work.

Weirdly enough, today it works for one curve out of two in my program. They have exactly the same method of import.
