Hi,
I have a pretty simple setup. A file node to a polyslice. I am slicing the file into N curves (200 in this case, but could be many more). I need each curve to be saved out as a single curve DXF file (which I will use in a laser cutter to cut the shape).
If I try to just save the geo as is it will export all curves on camera viewport. I need a single curve on a specific axis (top down).
Can't figure out a way to do this - clearly I'm no expert as there must be an easy solution. Thanks for the help!
How to batch export curves into single DXF file

Hi,
Were the slices created along the vertical axis? Also there seems to be 2 curves per slice, like a wall thickness, how do you plan to handle that?
if it were me, I'd sort the polygons based on the vertical axis (using a sort SOP); then use a blast with the frame number in the group field and "delete unselected" checked; set a rop geo outputh to use the frame number in the naming of the DXF and set the range to be from 0 to the number of curves (-1) you have in your scene.
Cheers,
