[Ri...] Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) I am trying to create a DXf file of points for a customer; I have not worked with this option before. I should be creating a folder with dxf files, it isn't working. The last image is an example of what is required in simplest terms. What do I have wrong or don't have setup?

I believe an element needs to be tied to characteristic for CNC export. 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/26903-point-cloud-export-to-dxf-file/#findComment-152309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Correct - and the DXF export is only for Curve features. 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/26903-point-cloud-export-to-dxf-file/#findComment-152327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Features - Special - Point Cloud - Recall feature points of all features you want to export - right click on Point Set and export points. 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/26903-point-cloud-export-to-dxf-file/#findComment-152339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ra...] Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 It's been a minute, but last time I tried to export points from a point cloud it was always relative to the base alignment. Just a heads up.

[Za...] Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Please sign in to view this quote. your milage may vary depending on the version of CALYPSO you're using, but once you right click > export, you can select a specific alignment. at least that's the case in CALYPSO 2025 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/26903-point-cloud-export-to-dxf-file/#findComment-152345 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ri...] Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 What does "Export Points" do? What is required to export points to a named file? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/26903-point-cloud-export-to-dxf-file/#findComment-152359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ra...] Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I think PCM is easier, if you have it - exportPoints(). I wanted to name the files based on the features being exported, and I didn't know how to in the "output file" options. Define your file path somewhere in the pre settings ("path" variable), and modify the code below to your needs and place it in the post setting of the feature. feature=getNominal().testPlanGeometry.identifier name=feature +"_"+getRecordHead("u_Serial") ext=".txt" dirpath=path+name+ext exportPoints(feature,dirpath) Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/26903-point-cloud-export-to-dxf-file/#findComment-152361 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Export points is for when you want it automated, and then you want them sent to a specific place, but they have to be attached to a characteristic.
