Coordinate Point Tables

Hi,

I would like to make a coordinate point table that correlates with points from an airfoil section.

Is this possible in WF 4.0? If so, what are the steps?

I'm assuming points would have to be established first, on the model side, which I'm not sure how to do.

Thanks

I am interested in the same process but for creating hull profiles. I'd like to figure out how to take some kind of point data file (xls or txt, etc) and import those points into a sketch from which I can create a curve. SolidWorks has a very nice and very fast sequence for this, hopefully ProE can deliver too.

Thanks!
 
Hi,

Here's what I learned so far. If you can get a (valid) point profile, then the file can b file saved as a '.csv' file. This file can be imported into ProE drawing, but would require a bit of editing afterwards to get the table to fit nicely.

Unless there's traceability to where these point profiles came from, the values are will be "dumb" values & can be edited.

I'm still looking for a better & "parametric" method.
