#How to write .LFT path?
5 messages in this thread
Is there anyone who has the documentation for how to write a .LFT
file? The thing I wan't to do is to make my own loftpath. I have made
it work with DXF, but can't make a smooth path with a polyline!

At this time the .LFT format is undocumented. I'll pass this past the
IPAS4 development team.
Have you tried writing it as a DXF 2D/3D Polyline with curve/spline
info and importing it into the Lofter?

No I havn't, but that way I only can spline everything! Not set the
spline values for each individual vertex on the path. Or am I wrong?

I think you're partially correct. To my knowledge, 3D Polylines are either
linear or splined while 2D Polylines can have bulge information (traditional
arc) for every vertex. I'm not possitive if you can mix the 2D spline, arc,
and linear status or not.
