Insert coordonate in Solidworks

Insert coordonate in Solidworks

(OP)
Hi.

I want to insert a list of coordonate from a .txt file in Solidworks. The result is a point cloud. I want to connect some point with a line. I don't want a curve. Do you have a solution ?

Thank you.

RE: Insert coordonate in Solidworks

I would make a 3D sketch and place your points that way. Here is a link on how to place coordinate points.

After you have your points you can either use the 3D sketch you already have or create another one and connect the points with the line tool.
