Creating points from an excel table, Chook

[Todd84]

I've been out for about 5 years so bear with me.

 

In x2 I had a Chook that I got from someone on here. I had a cam lift table with degrees and amount of lift off of the base circle. I remeber opening it up and it would ask for the excel file, the base circle diameter and if I wanted points or a spline. I can't for the life of me remeber what it was called and I am searching now but not having any luck can someone help me out?

 

Thank you

ASCII CHOOK,not sure if still exists

ASCII CHook?

There's no such thing with that name that I've heard of.

You can read (file open) an ASCII (CSV) format file containing X,Y,Z data.

 

There was an Add-On exactly as you describe.

I don't see it in the X6 downloads @ www.mastercam.com

What version of Mastercam are you running?

email me - SDK (at) mastercam (dot) com

and I can look for it next week.

I could 'convert' the file for you, if you send me the file. I have only seen this problem a couple of times, but there isn't a c-hook yet.
