Anyone,
I did an edge finding routine on an object, hoping to save the points in dxf to open in Aspire. The routine stopped just before finishing. On opening the .sbp in edit, I noticed it needed the closing info, as per the troubleshooting for Dig Probe. I added that as instructed.
I then used the Probe Translator in Tools, to create the dxf.
I noted that there were spaces in the .sbp file that the Copy Machine created, as follows:

SA
SO,1,1
PAUSE 2
&zup = 1
&depth = -0.25
MZ, &zup
J2, .000, 3.719
MZ, &depth
M2, .250, 3.613
M2, .416, 3.550
M2, .582, 3.492
.......
M2, .000, 3.719
MZ, &zup




ENDSEC
0
EOF


So, I did an edit to a short test file, omitting the spaces, as follows:

SA
SO,1,1
PAUSE 2
&zup = 1
&depth = -0.25
MZ, &zup
J2, .000, 3.719
MZ, &depth
M2,0.250,3.613
M2,0.416,3.550
M2,0.582,3.492
M2,0.748,3.434
M2,0.913,3.376
MZ, &zup




ENDSEC
0
EOF


I still couldn't get the points to import into Aspire.
Is there something that I'm not doing?
Do those spaces matter?

I appreciate any help.
thnx,
DENIS

My post must have Bad Breath, or something. So, I'll update.
I saved the copy machine output as dxf points, no joy.
Then, saved as dxf polyline, Joy! ...it imported in Aspire.
