Re: XY point list for spiral to DXF?

Hey Tom,

Haven't followed the thread at all, but Corel Draw does do spirals and will
export to DXF format (among others).

I understand your description of a coiled rope, but what diameter rope? That
would determine the number of spirals.

I can create a file for you that you could just import if you like. I already
tested it in Corel and turned out nice enough.

Jim...
