catia vs excel

[learningcad]

Bye to all,
I have to import a series of cat points from excel,
However, I cannot use the macro already existing in the cat because it matters them in a geometric group, instead I should import them all in a sketch (possibly I should have the possibility to always overwrite the same).
Do you have any solutions/ideas? Thank you!

If you are looking for the web, maybe you find a macro that fits your case, however to solve quickly, you could project points in the sketch
(In the sketch: first select all points, then: menu/insert/operation/geometria 3d/project elements 3d)

But what do you have to do with it? Can't you join the points in space instead of the sketch?

Hi.

This is a good start. I explain my problem more clearly:
I have to define points in a sketch, so that I can use a custom matrix, based precisely on the sketch, to make a series of holes. The problem is that I would like to change the position of the above holes at my liking and comfortably using an excel tabellina without having to reset the matrix every time.

Unfortunately the custom matrix needs points in the sketch. . .

personally in many years of design I rarely used the excel project tables, as (for me) it is preferable to check in the 3d the effect of a change regarding the whole of the parts, rather than set a quota on excel (wrong magari, for which the hole is finished in the courtyard or in the lawn rather than on the piece), while for the boring and repetitive import of points for profiles etc. can really be useful.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going any further.

Hi.

I agree with the verification in 3d, although I have to make a large number of holes I have to find a shortcut . Thanks anyway!
