Auto connect the dots?

[DennisCNC]

Is there a option to automatically connect one point to the nearest next point? What I want to do is import a 2d shape made of points about .1" apart and have Rhino connect all of them one to the next with a Control Point Curve.

If Rhino can't do it what other CAD can?

Thanks

Curve>freeform>fit to points (curvethroughpt command). You can tweak some things in the dialog.

Hello Dennis!

A few options come to mind, but since you said you're importing points I'll recommend rhino scripting. I assume you have those points in, for example, a txt file or something alike. In which case you can go like this:
_interpcrv
0,0,0
0,51,123
0,24,12 (these points don't make any sense, I'm just hitting them as I go along)
_enter

This will generate a curve in rhino, after you read the command file with ReadCommandFile (or short "Re")

Of course, you can use some other form of curve or whatever. Every command in rhino has it's own name, and can be putted in a command file.
Will this help you ?

p.s. I apologize if my english is a little weird, it's not my main language. If you don't understand something, ask, and I'll try to explain better.

Thank you all the tips, i happen to find a small program a person here on the zone made that convetrs g-code to dxf, so i just fomatted the points as: x123 y123 and it does a perfect job on the dxf file and then open it in rhino and do what I need.

The zone is great!!

Thanks
