Question

Generating 2D curves in MathCad

I would like to generate 2D curves in MathCAD that can be integrated into a 2D sketch in Solidworks for extrusions or extruded cuts. I would also like to generate 3D vectored formulas in MathCAD that can be projected onto a surface sketch in SolidWorks for extrusions or extruded cuts.

You are picking up from a very old thread here. Why don't you start a new thread and see if you get a response.

I've gone ahead and branched this discussion for just that reason.

Why don't you proivide a few examples for people to work with?

Maybe a data set?

You reply to a rather old message.

PTC has succeeded to ruin the Mathcad foum twice. The first time, when they merged the old collab forum in their Jive forum and then this year when they moved from Jive to the even worse Lithium software.

Messages got lost, links were not working because they are not adopted and attachments are missing. Destroying things which work good or at least OK is something PTC really is good at.

You can always try to use the wayback machine to see if the page you are looking for is stored there and incase of the two you are asking for, we have luck:

https://web.archive.org/web/20140327033633/http://communities.ptc.com/docs/DOC-4840

Unfortunately wayback has not stored the attachment files.

But now as you know the exakt wording of the arcticles and their title, you can try your luck with the seach function of this forum and again we are lucky

https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad-Blog/WriteSTL-Custom-Function/ba-p/450234

https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad-Blog/WriteDXF-create-3D-models-mathematically-in-PTC-Mathcad-Prime-3/ba-p/450219

So the documents (as they were called in Jive) were transformed into Blogs here in Lithium. But you will notice that the attachments are also missing in these blogs. Of yourse this makes the blogs unusable and obsolete.

 

Fortunately I had downloaded those files way back when they were freely available and so I think its OK to repost them here.
