holes from point cloud

Michael Gnadlinger Jul 23, 2018 3:06 PM

Hi out there,

I have a .txt file with the x and y coordinates of 500+ holes. The z-coordinate is always 0.

I have already found out how to implement the .txt file by creating a point cloud, but then I somehow cannot select the point cloud within the drilling-feature.

So my question is how I can possibly make those 500+ holes with the same diameter from the .txt file without it taking me 5 hours?

Many thanks in advance,

Michael Gnadlinger

I would suggest to use a macro that would loop through your text file and place a 2d sketch point into a sketch.

  Thanks soooo much, was a crazy long night yesterday! You showed me a whole new side of SolidWorks I never knew existed before with amazing possibilities ... and amazing new problems:

  Could you please have a quick look over this.
