Property changing a series of points to a spline

[Skir]

HELP!...How do i change a series of .015 line segments to a spline to make my programs shorter?

Turn on your filter and set your tolerances.

What filter? I have a profile that i imported from Auto Cad.

Are you trying to fix the drawing or the nc program?

[Travis_Buchanan]

Create - Spline - Curves will fix your dwg. Turn filter on under contour parameters tab and adjust setting to your liking for nc program.

I want to fix the drawing so i can run toolpath on it. Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong?

[Travis_Buchanan]

Skir, You can toolpath all those short line segments as a chain then use the filter to create longer lines and arc in the program. Tick the filter box located in lower right corner of contour parameters, then click on filter and a parameter page will come up. There you control how it filters those line segments or a spline. You may also turn thos segments into a spline by create spline curves and chain what you want. Either way you still need to use the toolpath filter.

yep, Thanks Travis, I just created splines over the geometry I now have 8 splines. wich translates into 18 lines of code instead of 2000 lines or points.

Thanks Travis!
