Had a few minutes here so decided to try James method to sketch an airfoil using .dat files. Here's how I did it.....
Copied the .dat file into Excel. I had to run a "text to columns" operation to get the x and y coordinates into two columns. There was no z coordinate so added "0" in the cells in the next column. Make sure this data ends up in Col A, B, & C.
As Fusion reads scripting in centimeters, regardless of the setting you have, I had to manipulate the data in Excel prior to saving to have the result in Fusion in inches. Also wanted to provide for the chord desired.
In Excel....moved over a couple of columns(E) and entered the chord that was desired in E1. Then in F1 wrote this formula...
=A1*2.54*$E$1
Drug that formula across to H1. Drug F1 thru H1 down to the bottom of the list.
Copied Col's F1 thru H1 and pasted into Col's J thru L as value.
Delete all Col's up to but not including Col J. Save file off as .cvs as described above.
The result, read into Fusion as a sketch, will be in inches and have the correct chord.
Works great and takes longer to type it out than it does to do it....:)
Thanks again James for the tip....
