You can convert curve to/from XYZ, IGES, STEP, DXF, VDA file. Convert curve to keyword.
To do a curve convert opeartion:
Click Convert (Curve toolbar) or click Geometry, Curve, Convert.
In the dialog , select the type of you want to convert:
To XYZ File. Convert the sampled points from the selected curves to XYZ file. You can use raw points in selected curves or resample points from curves by number or size. Check "LS-DYNA XYZ" to convert points to a DYNA XYZ file format, . Convert points array from the selected curves to different files, please check "Batch Exporting".
From XYZ File. Convert XYZ points to piecewise b-spline curve. If the XYZ file is DYNA XYZ format, check "LS-DYNA XYZ". Load the points from the XYZ file but don't make B-Spline curve, please check "Only to Points". If the point only contains X and Y component in the XYZ file, check "2D Point Format". "Check Duplicate" will remove neighbor duplicated points. "Piecewise" is an option to make points into one degree B-Spline curve or fit points to high degree B-Spline curve.
To IGES/STEP. Convert the selected edges or all edges to IGES/STEP file. There are three types of edges: independent edge, edge in wire, and edge in face. "Show Only" write shown edges only.
From IGES/STEP. Load edges from IGES/STEP file. There are three types edges in IGES/STEP file: independent edge, edge in wire, and edge in face.
