Input spline data via script
Posted: Sun Nov 07, 2010 5:36 pm
I use splines a lot to design canoes. I use tables of offsets from texts and plans then enter them into a spread sheet. Once the spread sheet is complete I export the points to a cvs file so I have a list of x,y coordinates.
I presently input each set manually, and as you can imagine I often make a mistake. I have looked at the inputxy.ps script and it seems to be close to what I need, but not really.
What I need is a script that I can call to enter the points after I have selected the spline tool. As you know the command line first asks for an origin, then the points in succession.
If anyone has a script or can give me some pointers it would be much appreciated.
Just an FYI, I have over 20 years programming experience in C, C++ and a few other languages.
Many thanks in advance.
