Default jpg to dxf to dat devfus 2.0

Hi All,

I have a jpg of the Caudron C460 wing profile and I have no problems converting that to a dxf (Redraw).

OK I have down loaded Cadworks 3 trial because it has a dxf to Dat converter. Saved it as a DAT (File size 0K ?Strange?)

Tried to load it into Devfus but it wasn't accepted.

Is there a easier way?

Thanks

Prboz, Have you looked at using Profili Pro, It will take JPG and convert it into an airfoil, then to DXF to dat etc.

I have had a quick look at it but seemed to be getting noware so put it aside. I may have to have another go at it.

Prpoz,

Ok I can see your airfoil.

Symetrical.

Now, exactly what do you want to do with it? What is your goal?

Cut ribs, build a non tapered wing, a tapered wing??

Is that the tip airfoil also?

It is the root of the wing and the chord is 510mm long.

I want to use it in DEVFUS for the wing slot and need a .dat file to insert. The Indice is 2 deg.
