    Points from an Excel Spreadsheet

    I have an excel spreadsheet with the XYZ values of 52,000 points. I would like to create these points in NX3 to create a surface. What is the best way to do this? Surely there is a way to use the spreadsheet function to get this completed. Thanks, Dave

    Hot Keys - alt R M ect....

    Hot Keys - alt R M ect....

    I don't think your macro will work in NX3. I understand about recording the key strokes, but my question was more specific, as in what would be the key strokes for the above command.
