Importing points from data file?
Importing points from data file?
(OP)
Is it possible to import a set of data points (X Y Z format) into NX6.0? NX6 will import a spline from a set of data points but how do I get the data points themselves to import?
Thanks for your help!!

You could also derive knot points, if needed.

( I have complained before that this basic function is missing in NX, hm ...)
Somebody, not me, wrote a little journal that does it.
Download the attached file, should have the ".vb" extension, strip away the ".txt".
Run in NX thru Tools - Journal - Play..., it will ask for the file that contains the point coordinates.
