    Hello
    I am currently trying to build up the tool data base. I got the models of the holder as IGES and now I want to save it’s turning contours as DXF so that I can insert it later as geometry in the data base.

    Can anybody give me some advice?

    Many thank in advance

    Hello
    why don’t you try to get the data of the holder as DXF??
    Nowadays you can get them from most manufacturers.

    Otherwise save a cutting curve through the step and as DXF
