Importing a PCF File into Stylus System Creator

[[Da...]]

Has anyone tried to import a *.pcf file (exported stylus system from an online seat of calypso) into the stylus system creator? I am curious if this can be done. Someone mentioned to me they did this a while back, but couldn't remember how.

I have, worked fine.

Clarke,

How did you go about doing this? I tried to import the *.pcf file, but the only file extension options are shown in the attached file called "Stylus System Creator Import.png". When I load a file, it is the only extension I see is the *.ssc as shown in attached file called "Stylus System Creator Load.png"

To what purpose David? Are you expecting to import the PCF file and "see" the stylus system in simulation?

Did they ever get saved/exported?

Oop's, I didn't read the question thoroughly. No, not in stylus system creator. Sorry about that.

I highly doubt that this is possible, since it wouldn't make much sense from a technical perspective.
The contents of a PCF file (BOSS7) can be very easily read and saved by Calypso because it's a "home-made" file format.
But the Stylus Creator seems to be based on a completely different programming environment. Making it able to read that file type would probably need some effort, and for what benefit?

The only useful information to extract would be stylus names, probe tip positions and radii, but you would still have to fit all the surrounding elements precisely, and how would you do that without any measuring functions in Stylus Creator?
