Transform curves

Recommended Posts

I have a family of parts. Geometry same, sizes different. So, I wrote one program, then copied/saved/re-named. Deleted the old model, imported the new. Problem is, I have several curves that I need to get to match to the new model. Cad model comparison doesn't seem to work for the curves. Do I have to re-generate all those curves again?

Yes, but the easiest way to way to do that is to create point files at the CAD station. You can get by with just X, Y, and Z data but i, j, k data is more then welcome. 6 rows of data in a .txt file is a piece of cake to bring into Calypso. Each row has to have Xnom, Ynom, Znom, unom, vnom, and wnom at the top.

Actually you dont need the header anymore, (xnom etc..)
It is possible to modify the nominals in the vector direction, making it bigger or smaller. But it depends on how your curve looks like. But might be worth a try.

I have 6 curves, equally spaced (60 deg) around a hex driver. The attachment
is the old (larger) curve. I need to make this curve to match the nominals of the
new (smaller) part.

Yes, select the drop down arrow above point no on the feature and then select the last amount of points needing to be deleted while holding down the shift key and then right click and select delete

Thanks Owen. I didn't know it was that easy. Before I read your suggestion I did it the hard way.
