xflr2nx

The repository for the xflr2nx project code and associated files.

The program pre-loads a directory of DAT files, before using a GUI to ask for an XML file to convert. It then outputs a series of DAT files which are adjusted and can be imported directly into Siemens NX, and renders a preview of the plane which has been processed.
Upon first install, the user should run "xflr2nx setup" at the command line, which will generate the necessary folders - a folder for DATs, a folder for XMLs, and an output folder. All required DAT files and XML files should be moved into the respective folders, before "xflr2nx reload" is run. From now on, every time the DAT folder is modified the reload command should be run.
To use the function, now just type "xflr2nx" at the command line and follow the GUI instructions. The 'Choose XML' dialog provides three options: 'Shift Sections', which adds the relative positions of the plane sections to the modified coordinates (they will otherwise be centred on the origin); 'Fancy Graphics', which currently only renders the output preview with solid lines rather than points, but can improve performance on slower machines; and 'Show Axes', which turns the axes on and off in the output preview.
Includes a nested version of submission 58700, which is based on the acknowledged file.
