Hi!

Yes... open a new  3D Sketch and insert excel info.

But that only give me the points, I need to do the scketch again from these points? It's hard to do it if you have 100 points.

Hi!

Yes... only the points...

How you expect inventor know how you want to join the points??!! lines? splines? and which order?

That you have to do mannually... 😞

[bwang-tecoustics]

The order to join the points should be as the coordinates sequence from the excel file. and then give it an option if to connect the last point to the first point. This is what I expect that Inventor should have. Anyway, thanks for your reply.
