How do I get data into Rhino3 from Mach2 or Mach3 when using the digitizing wizard? It appears that the data goes to a txt file. Any suggestions regarding translation into a Rhino compatable format?
thanks ken

I don't know Rhino but you are loading a point cloud :)

Take your data file and rename it with a .txt extension (the Mach3 3d plugin leaves off the .txt extension!)
Then in Rhino just Open>File and scroll down to the file type "Points File (.....*.txt) and select that.
Rhino will display your point cloud as a web of dots.
Rhino needs the .txt extension to see your data file.
That much I found out yesterday!
