RE: How to import points from excel into unigraphics

The following method was written for UGNX 1 or 2 I don't know if it's changed on later versions.

First save the data you want for the points to a text file with a .dat extension which is what UG reads.

You do not need to include heading information such as X Y Z to indicate which coordinates are specified in the columns.

x1 y1 z1
x2 y2 z2
x3 y3 z3

The point coordinates can be separated by a tab or space character.

To import the data points choose
1) Insert > Curve > Spline
2) choose By Poles or Through Points
3) select Points from File
4) choose your points.dat file that you saved from excel
5) Insert > Curve > Point Set
6) If you want the points to be grouped select the Group points option to turn it on.
7) choose Spline Defining Points or Spline Poles
