I am trying to get a point cloud, or splines, created by our Zeiss CMM to import into my ProE model. I want to check my model to the produced part. Anyone know what I need to accomplish this. I tried DXF, STP, IGES. I get very little data to import to ProE. Basically, all I get is an X and Y starting point, a datum, and x zero line, y zero line. Thanks,

Hi Troy,

You have to import the points thru a point table.

Create a text file of all the points in a 3 column x, y, z format.

Rename the text file to have a .pts extension.

Open a new part in proe and create datum points by importing the .pts text file.
