Yes and no. Yes, you do need to convert sh3 files to pm4 before running a batch process on the Cam Connection.
No, you don't need to manually convert them. Attached is a macro, CONVERT.MCL, that I wrote years ago when I updated my company from v4.5 to v11.5. It converts sh2 and sh3 shape files to pm4. With a little modification you could have this macro export the file as iges after saving as a pm4. ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 12:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'smartcam user group' Subject: Re: [mfg-smartcam] How can I batch translate .sh3 and .pm4 files to iges? Fred & Group, I got the PM4 to IGES to batch translate fine. However I don't see anything for the SH3 files, is there something I missed or will I need to manually convert them to PM4 and then batch translate them?
