Coordinate Data Entry in Solidworks
Coordinate Data Entry in Solidworks
(OP)
I would like to enter 2 dimensional coordinate data into s/works to create a sketch for extrusion / lofting. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a way to do this? I have tried importing all types of ASCII files (Windows Notepad), such as *.igs, *.vda, and the like, but to no avail.






RE: Coordinate Data Entry in Solidworks
Your data can be saved in a text file, it would look something like this:
1,1,1
1,3,1
3,3,1
1,3,1
Use the INSERT / CURVE / CURVE THROUGH FREE POINTS command and browse to your text file.
Also, excel spreadsheets, saved in a "tab delimited" text file format will also import the same way.
Good Luck

It works beautifully.
