I'm sure that this has probably been done before,
I was wondering if anyone has created a DXF file from an array of probing points, or on the fly whist creating a probing routine?
The most simple format seems to be to save the file as a R12 DXF so that the header info is not important (required).
The most basic dxf (R12) file seems to be:
Code:
0
ENDSEC
0
SECTION
2
ENTITIES
0
ENDSEC
0
EOF
Which is basically a blank file (but it loads without error).
for a simple DXF (R12) with a line it would be as follows:
Code:
0
ENDSEC
0
SECTION
2
ENTITIES
0
LINE
8
0
10
0
20
0
30
0
11
0
21
150
31
0
0
ENDSEC
0
EOF
Seems to open ok in LibreCAD + Autocad 2020.
Whilst I can crate a probing routine to create a load of line entities (editing the smartprobe.ngc file)
I was wondering if anyone has done any work with polylines / splines as that would probably be more useful as a blended / curve fit application
I'm just dabbling thats all, thanks,
