[bcl001]

Hi everybody, what is the easiest way to import points into Solidworks [X/Y/Z]. Already tested curve through XYZ points, but now i am looking for points only option.

Thanks in advance, Bert

Hi, I am new to SW, what is this .swp file. How to istall and run?
Thanks, Bert

The .swp file is a macro which is run from within SW.

Check the Help file for more details.

To run a macro:

Click Run Macro on the Macro toolbar, or click Tools, Macro, Run.

In the dialog box, locate a macro file (*.swp, *.swb) and click Open.

I believe you may have to edit a line in those macros so that it locates and reads the point co-ordinates file.
