CAD2MATDEMO, a demonstration of importing 3D CAD data into Matlab.
To get CAD data into Matlab, the process is:
1) Export the 3D CAD data as an ASCII STL (or Pro/E render SLP) file.
2) This Matlab routine reads the CAD data Once read, the CAD data is rotated around a bit.
Program has been tested with: AutoCAD, Cadkey, and Pro/Engineer.Should work with most any CAD programs that can export STL.
