How to automate this problem...

Dear all,

I have the gravity center coordinates of more than 2000 objects in a
excel spreadsheet. The idea is to create an assembly made of a layout of
workpoints and cubes with the length side read from the same
spreadsheet and constrained in the center of gravity.
The macro should create the layout of workpoint, for each workpoint the
cube and then the final assembly placing each cube in its position.

Could someone help me?

I thank you all in advance

P.S. In attachment you can find the model of spreadsheet.

Or you could download Read Points from File from
http://www.kwikmcad.com/icode/macros.asp and change the line that puts a workpoint
at the coordinate to a routine that imports a pre-made cube.ipt to those
coordinates.
