Just to close the loop on this, I can confirm that the TKJT library with wmayer fixes compiles successfully, that JT Assistant will work with it, and that if JT Reader is enabled during a self compile of FC (latest version off of GitHub, along with OCCT 7.7.1), that a .JT file can be read into FC. I...

onekk Thank you for the perspective. In this case, curve_form maps to the equivalent of unknown or not specified. Other than a value associated with polyline, it could also be a circular, parabolic, elliptical or hyperbolic arc. So for a different example I should make it a point to check that valu...

Chris_G , hammax Thank you very much for that. I'll load up your file in a little while, but can you tell me if you had to guess at anything? Ie was there info that seemed to be missing or unavailable in my output? My first shot at moving forward was going to be a traverse of the tree to the basic ...

I am looking for a bit of advice regarding a path forward on a project. If this question should get posted elsewhere, I'm happy to accomodate. I have looked at this Solidworks part file, for example, https://grabcad.com/library/loft-complex-in-sw-2011-1 and extracted the preview image and geometry t...

Hi tounho, Rather that design a threaded hole, can you instead get away with a recessed hole which has tabs to capture the filter and it's ring? A filter wheel I have has only a little bit of clearance, so I'm not sure my idea would work. Will this be used for solar work ( ie subject to heating)? I ...

No problem - I thought you might have a particular interest in that model. Regarding my observation re the transform matrices: Inferring from this https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-api/geometry/transformation/ I think those matrices are laid out row-by-row, left-to-right. So the last row gives th...

I think such import options are very useful. but above all also SLDASM Hi, Regarding SLDASM files (which apparently don't have parts per se), would the attached be useful? It comes from the SLDASM you linked to earlier on grabcad. I'm guessing the SWtransform matrix provides the placement info need...

thomas-neemann I believe that technically the tag can refer to either. My understanding is that it is a way for an entity (geometric, etc) to be reused. So in the case of the bowl, there are arc definitions which are repeated in a circle. The DXF can be read in the python console to return separate...

If someone else has access to those files and could save it in a STEP format so I can look at the components, that would very helpful as a means of checking my work. Related to this ... I have figured out how to take the interpretation of the .x_b/.x_t Parasolid/SLDPRT file and build a tree out of i...

I think they've jumped the gun on the 7.8 release (IMHO). The git site indicates they are still dealing with "hot fixes" and have yet to move to that tag. So I'm shelving this exercise as there are far less deep rabbit holes to play in ...
