Pro-e Point Import
Pro-e Point Import
(OP)
Hi, i need to import Point data into Pro-e WF2
I've created iges files with the point data but pro-e seems to always want to convert these to splines not keep them as datum points.
I'm competent with VB & Solidworks but not pro-e. Can anyone suggest how i can manipulate simple xyz data and rearrange into a format that pro-e can read?
Thanks

RE: Pro-e Point Import
set correct options in configpro, and turn on view datum points!
Is there a better way than iges or vda?
Thanks

RE: Pro-e Point Import
it has a point offset from a co-ord .. it's like the 3rd one over from the normal points icon
also from menu...
insert>model datum >point >offset cooridante system
menu pops up and you select your cooridinate system then import button will become useable
select your name.pts file.. it will fill in the table ... and OK
and if you want to make a curve thru those then curve thru point and you can grab each array
RE: Pro-e Point Import
if so save as text (tab_delimeted)
then rename as *.pts within explorer
insert>model datum >point >offset cooridante system
import
navigate to your *.pts file
