Importing data into V5R10 mm - in

Importing data into V5R10 mm - in

Importing data into V5R10 mm - in

(OP)
I am: using the GSD Point Sline Loft from Excel sheet and running the macro to generate a wing surface.

Problem: how do I get CATIA to recognise that the point data in the excel sheet is in inches rather than mm's?

I've changed from metric to imperial units on the general tab within CATIA, but it still reads the data in as metric units.

I have multiplied the units in the excel sheet by 25.4 and input that.

Just wanted to know how to specify the units.

RE: Importing data into V5R10 mm - in

Hello Woody001,

For this problem, look at in Tools/options/parameters and measure/units and choice the unit for each parameter.

good luck.
