I have an .iges file now that I can pass on if anyone wants it although I will try and convert the file to Excell points when I get a minute.

And apologies for posting to the list when I said I was contacting Graham off-list! I'll continue here now as there seems to be some wider interest. I managed to get some sense out of the .DXF data that Graham embedded in his posting; CADintosh produced an almost-complete airfoil (after complaining about the DXF version) but TurboCAD Mac did much better and shows a whole profile, top & bottom, LE to TE.

(I'm a great believer in plain ASCII files of tab-text delimited data. Almost any application can read and make use of that format, then munge it in its own way.) Ian Rickard found the .DWG file opened OK for him, and offered to export it as some other format. So, Ian, if your file shows multiple profiles, perhaps you could let Bob & myself have a custom .DXF export, please (AutoCAD v12, Codepage DOS default). If the drawing is in layers, each one may have to be exported separately - I'm not sure if DXF supports layers. Thanks for all the help on this topic. regards Rowland -- | Rowland Carson PFA #16532 http://home.clara.net/rowil/aviation/ | 750 hours building Europa #435 G-ROWI e-mail ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:17:47 PM PST US From: Graham Singleton Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re: Vortex Generators Rowland & everyone THe file I attached gives one section only, which is the same over the whole wing as faras I know. To make my templates I scaled the section to match the chord at each station, so from my posting you will only have one section Graham Rowland & Wilma Carson wrote: > If I understand the above posting from Graham correctly, I should be > seeing 8 partial outlines, but I can only see one complete one, so maybe > something is getting lost in translation. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:36:31 PM PST US From: "Fergus Kyle" Subject: Europa-List: test test ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 05:40:36 PM PST US From: "Fergus Kyle" Subject: Europa-List: Tesdt test ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
