Create a sketch from excel/text data file
Create a sketch from excel/text data file
(OP)
Hi
I have a text file(notepad / excel) which has points that represent the data for an airfoil geometry. I want to know how to draw this airfoil in Pro Engineer Wildfire 2. I know how to make an offset datum and how to draw a datum curve from these points but I do not know how to make extrusion or sketch from these datums or points. I want to generate a 3-D model from either these datum or points. Please can you help me to solve this problem ASAP.
Regards,
FASMS

PTS Output File Format
The format of the Pro/ENGINEER point (.pts) output file allows it to be read in during the creation of datum point features.
Output File Information Description Offset Tolerance Comparison for <filename.prt> The File header and <filename.prt> is the name of the part that contains the hull surface Tolerance = 0.100 The tolerance value input for the comparison. # Indicates the incremental count of the number of points in the file. Frame No The frame number corresponding to x value of the point, taken from BMT data.
X The x value of the point, taken from the BMT data.
Y The y value of the point, taken from the BMT data.
Z The z value of the point, taken from the BMT data.
Dx The difference between the BMT x value and the value determined in Pro/ENGINEER.
Dy The difference between the BMT y value and the value determined in Pro/ENGINEER.
Dz The difference between the BMT z value and the value determined in Pro/ENGINEER.
STEM, FOB and FOS Formats
The format for other groups such as knuckle STEM, FOB (flat of bottom), and FOS (flat of side) will include the following tolerance comparisons:
• Knuckle STEM—The dx is checked.
• FOB—The dz is checked.
• FOS—The dy is checked.
