Modify your path and name of file, save and load the macro and run.
fichier = "C:\yourPath\cloud.asc" # path and name of file.txt
## path for Windows : C:\yourPath\cloud.asc (create one error in Python (cause, the "\" is a command syntax in Python)
## replace "\" by "/" result : C:/yourPath/cloud.asc
## or replace the "\" by "\\" result : C:\\yourPath\\cloud.asc
If you want a close wire modify this line (closed=False):
Draft.makeWire(wire,closed=False,face=False,support=None) # create the wire open
and replace with (closed=True):
Draft.makeWire(wire,closed=True,face=False,support=None) # create the wire closed
same for the face, False or True (face=True).
