Path From Curve.

paul_gkn

Hi,

 

Does anyone know if it's possible to specify how many tag points to create on a curve?

 

Currently I can only specify the offset between the tag points using the 'constant / constant distance' field. I would like to select a curve then create x number of tag points along that curve (allowing the software to workout the specing between the tag points).

 

Any ideas...???

 

Cheers,

 

Paul.

Hi Paul,

No that is not possible. But I will add it as a request for future releases.

Hi

Writing the stuff yourself is much more fun
Here is an addin that does this.
Just copy the dll to "where you installed RS"inAddins.

A new button will show up in the Home tab just after Path from Curve.
It's only enabled if you have selected a Curve.

This is the first version so there are a lot of features missing like
- Be able to select several curves (now only on a single curve)

- Be able to select task/workobject (now active workobject)

- Define target names (now CurveTarget_xx)

- Set travel axis (now no alignment at all)

But still it will distribute the amount of targets with equal distance along the curve.

If you select start/end the input amount of targets will be reduced by 1 or 2.

 

Let me know if you find any buggs or  improvments(I'm sure there is because I haven't tested it a lot)
