Convert Spline to Arcs Macro

Unread post by step2design »

Hi all,

I've given the forum a good seraching and can't find what I'm looking for so am hoping that someone can help.

I'm after a Macro that was attached to the Solidworks forum thread ->

https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/221366

It was either called aaaReArcs.swp or aaReArcs.swp

Or maybe Spline to Arc.swp

I'm not entirely sure, but it was an absolute life saver and due to a computer crash I've lost my local copy and in desperate need of another.

Does anyone have it in their Macro library?

Thanks in advance,

Sam

Maybe some context might help us to better understand what you're looking to do. As that could net, depending on the Spline, anywhere from 3 - 3000 curves...or more. I'm exaggerating but you get the point. If it's for simply adding measurements I'd ask why. That there's functionality that actually works better in the inverse meaning drawing the arcs out then tracing one Spline over it. These are just shots in the dark so any additional info would be helpful.

hi @Arthur NY

I tried to illustrate the steps of my work on this photo to better understand example of 3D scenery ( same for a 2D decoration as sent previously)
The mechanical-welded cladding is the selection of arches and lines of sketches,
The choice of the profile that will be bent to the desired shape to achieve the decoration is chosen according to several criteria
Sometimes I make sketches for each profile that will be used and other times I make sketches that may have several different profiles.

I have to select segment by segment (arc or line) when I am on the function "mechanical-welded element"
