Ford was impressed by this and I think they adopted it for their own

That is extremely cool!

I am now much less smug about having MathCAD generate a parabola and
importing that into a Generic CADD sketch.

Thought I was hot ****, for a while.

Oh well.

It sounds like a lot more than it really is. If you break it down into the
steps, they just logically followed one after the other. And it wasn't hard
to do at all.

Ever since then I've tried to think of other ways to use that
table/scripting capability, but I've never come up with anything
significant. I did plot all the elevations in my back yard on a six-foot
grid, and I made a contour map of it in Rhino to calculate how much dirt I
needed to re-grade it, but that was hardly a sensible use of the capability.
