Convert xacro to urdf #17

Does a possibility to convert xacro file to urdf file is included in this program ?

I would like to have a urdf file for the UR3 robot, but i found only xacro format.

In this program, it uses the xacro which is installed in the system. It means that this program does not handle xacro directly. But if you install xacro it can handle xacro files.

If you are not using Linux, it might be difficult to install xacro(ROS) in your system. I recommend to generate urdf file using xacro on a Linux machine with ROS in advance, and copy it to your machine.

Thank again for your reply, it was what I was thinking, I have already done that, but it is "platform dependent" of ROS. I would like something more standalone.

Thank again for your reply. You can close this issue.

ROS2 supports windows so you could try with that.
