Input File Format

Text file (.txt) — space separated:

10.0 5.0 2.5
20.0 5.0 2.5
30.0 5.0 0.0

CSV file (.csv) — comma separated:

10.0,5.0,2.5
20.0,5.0,2.5
30.0,5.0,0.0

If a line contains only two values (X and Y), Z is set to 0 automatically. Lines with fewer than two values are skipped.

Notes

• Points are created as parametric (non-datum) points — isolate them manually if needed
• There is no error correction beyond skipping short lines — ensure your file is clean before importing
• For points with names use Insert Points Catia With Names
