Sketching a Unique Curve 1

[waiwiliki]

How do I get Pro/E to sketch a curve from data points from a excel table or any X&Y table? My intent is to revolve this curve.

Thanks.

If you're okay with a spline or lines and arcs you can make a curve through points.

To do this, add a column for z values that is all zeroes and copy all the xyz rows.
Make a new text file called curve.pts make sure it has .pts as its extension and not a hidden .txt extension. Then create a Point by clicking the point icon on the Datum Toolbar. Select Read Points from File and browse to the .pts file. Hit Done to create the points.

Now click the Datum Curve icon wo/the graph. Select through points from the Menu Manager. Choose spline or multi radius and then pick the points all at once or one by one.

Then create a revolve feature with the use edge option in sketcher.
