Coordinate based graphics help

b72077 · 11-25-2007, 11:33 AM

I am currently working with old school borland c graphics programming. As far as now, I am limited to drawing with x and y axis arrays, right inside the code. I would like to know how to export coordinate pairs from a cad or drawing program so I can quite using graph paper and typing in numbers. Is there software to help me create a file using x,y and probably z axis after I draw a 3d object using mouse? Ultimately I need to focus on writing code to rotate on all axis, and other transformations. By the way, I'm not up to snuff on matrices. Sticking to x[] y[] and hopefully z[] array then looping through draw(a,to b) function. Export objects to x,y,z????
