Spline import

Good day

I am teaching Fusion to myself, but I am struggling. I am trying to import a line (it is the downstream side profile of an ogee spillway) from Excel but I am not successful. The measurements should be in meters (thus the max value is 0.277m) and I need to work on the XZ plane. When I try to import the CSV file, I receive a “No valid points” message. Would you be able to help me? I have attached a screenshot of the software I am using, the shape I need constructed in inventor and the CSV file.

This appears to be a question about Inventor, but this is a Fusion support forum. Did you mean to put it on the Inventor forum? https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/bd-p/78/page/2642?solved-posts-page=9?filter-label=invert

Good morning. No, it is for fusion. I have managed to import the spline on Inventor, but not on fusion.

It's because of the conventions used in this CSV. The decimal is using a "," as a decimal point (European convention), and ";" as a separator. If I replace the "," with ".", and ";" with ",", it works. The Import CSV Spline add in in Fusion is limited. Feel free to copy and enhance it. Modified file attached
