Insert coordonate in Solidworks

[85258]

Hi.

I want to insert a list of coordonate from a .txt file in Solidworks. The result is a point cloud. I want to connect some point with a line. I don't want a curve. Do you have a solution ?

Thank you.

I would make a 3D sketch and place your points that way. Here is a link on how to place coordinate points.

After you have your points you can either use the 3D sketch you already have or create another one and connect the points with the line tool.

Thank you, but a have a lot of point. It's a Survey for a elevation of a building. Enter point by point it's take a long time. My list is on .txt file.

Do you have another sugestion ?

Try turning on the "Scan to 3D" add-in., that is if you have the premium bundle. There you can open *.txt files and import them right into SW. See attached image of supported file types.
