Dear MathGroup friends,
how can I export a 2D (plane) curve in DXF format ?
For example I realized the following generalized ellipse (Lamé)
a=4.;
b=0.3;
c=3;
x[t_]:=a Sign[Cos[t] Abs[Cos[t]]^(1/c)
y[t_]:=b Sign[Sin[t] Abs[Sin[t]]^(1/c)
(c=1 is the usual ellipse, c>1 more squared)
then I plot the figure with
ParametricPlot[{x[t],y[t]},{t,0,2pg}, AspectRatio->Automatic, Axes->False]
Now I 'd like to export this curve in DXF format file to use it in other
programs that
accept this kind of file as an input.
Many thanks in advance, Roberto
