Re: QTR mini tutorial on curves - using a Mac

2005-09-15 by joshhackney

Hi Eric,

I am in fact setting CALIBRATION=YES in the descriptor file.  When I drop that file on the 
Drop-Quad-Profile.app it creates a curve in CurveDropBox with no errors, but it does not 
add "-calib" to the file name.  Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Josh
