RE: How to import points from excel into unigraphics
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
