how to put excel column data into SW 2D sketch ?
(OP)
going on from my CMM question...
if i've got 2 excel columns of x and y data - whats the best way - if at all - of getting it into an new sketch with selectable points.
I've got an add-in program that puts the data into a 3D sketch - but the points are non-selectable when converted to a drawing. - and i can't convert the 3D sketch to 2D .
likewise - if exported to DXF/DWG/EDwgs.
i need to make a drawing of the part, then dimension tfrom the point to the surface.
Tricky, huh ?

However I don't think it will give the point locations, it will just import a sketch curve using those points.

RE: how to put excel column data into SW 2D sketch ?
a) i've got 500 rows of data and it wants me to insert one row at a time - duh- way too time consuming.
b) tries to fit a curve - i just want points
Thanks, though.....
