This is most interesting,

that ArtForm uses lesser points on curve than MoI (and some of them are not on the same position)
but the back imported shape is the same.

I tested it again with drawing points in MoI then drawing a curve on them through points
and imported into ArForm to see the difference and finally back to MoI.



Red original from MoI black import back from ArtForm.

A link of Artform ?

???

I thought you have it already on your computer... because you already made things with it and posted here... :-)

Huhu : I had JDSoft-ArtSoft : I believed Artsoft "alone" was another one! :)

Hi Stefan!

I will try it in your way, here is the wanted function in Qcad (DXF):
So export the curve to DXF, edit it in Qcad and import it again, if you like.
But I think they drew the points earlier in Moi.

Hi Franz,

i also played today with HeeksCAD and it has the function to automatically
create a spline curve from points! :-) But i could not figure out yet how to edit
splines in there and also how to export as step or iges, because no files were written.

Later then i found PolyCAD which also looks very interesting but i have to wait for
the serial.

Don't really understand if it's entierelly free or not ?

In any case seems terrific for boat's hull!

Hi Pilou,

yes, it is free, but you must register the software.

Stefan

Thanks! I have a mail from the author Marcus Bole
but alas i had not my glasses when I sent him the Computer key number machine, so i must make it again! :)

PS He don't know Moi3D! So a cool discovery for him!

Hi Stefan!

Thanks for the tip with ArtForm (3.5).
In my version I cannot import *.3dm, only IGES.
Connot finde in "Curve Edit" the way to /Modify/Modify Point on Curve.
And I had to learn more about working with ArtForm, so I cannot edit points from the curve now.

Sorry, I will try later.
Franz

Hi Franz,

no problem. In order to do that you have to be in the NURBS Modeler module.

Stefan

...and right Click on the canvas when you have select what you want and how export! ;)
The format 3dm appears in the popup menu of file saving.

Hi Stefan!

Thank`s for your help.
I see, it ist really possible with these "sidestep" to ArtForm, to change the curve form with curve points and reimport to moi very quick!

Franz :)!

Hi Franz,

:-) yes! ArtForm and MoI is IHMO a very good combination.

Regards
Stefan

Very cool!
Format IGES in the 2 ways for Moi3D!
So cool for Zebra surface examination!
