Point Cloud Export to DXF file

[[Ri...]]

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.

Correct - and the DXF export is only for Curve features.

Ok, then how do I create a point cloud of measurement data?

 Features - Special - Point Cloud - Recall feature points of all features you want to export - right click on Point Set and export points.

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.

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

Changing those parameters did not work for me at the time. But I haven't tried it in the latest version of the software.

What does "Export Points" do?

What is required to export points to a named file?

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)

 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.
