Import 3d Curves

[tlehnhaeuser]

When importing a 3D curve froma txt file. Thee 3D curve comes in as a Bspline.

 

Is there a way that the 3D curve comes in as simple straight lines from point to point?

 

 

thanks

You could do this in 9.0. We will allow header information in the txt file like spline, line, point.

Thanks Cary,

while on the subject of 3D curves. Is there a way ( or in 9.0) you could set the default to any curve type.

 

Right now it defaults to Bspline and I would like it for Line.

 

Thanks

Same for me.

90% of the time I would like to draw straight lines.

But after almost one year use of IronCAD I still forget to shift to line before use.

And that means. I pick first point, I pick second point "damn" it ask for a third point, esc, pick "line" command ... pick the points again.

 

Is it possible to asign hotkeys for this? if not its an ER!

Like "L" for line

B for Bspline

C for circle

A for arc

 

And if the hotkeys for 3D-curve could be the same as for 2D-shape I would be even more happy. (For me it is the same tools with only a z-lock for 2D-shape)
