Line 92:
A link to a basic conversion tool from .poly to .stl, useful for many sketches will be placed here.
===== Simpler .dat format =====
You could also define your points in a .dat file, which is a list of 2D points, line by line.
File: square.dat
<code>
50 -50
50 50
-50 50
-50 -50
</code>
This is useful for plotting with *gnuplot* and you can use the example.plot file to view the points.
