I don't see .pij in the list of accepted extensions.

could you possibly export out of Dr.Picza software in another format - like .stp or igs?

Output of Dr. Picza software: '.txt', '.stl', '.xvl' , '.dxf' ?

    If you export it as txt and it keeps all the points in an x y z columns, then you can open the .txt file in notepad and save as a .pts file. Then you can use the get data option to pull in the points with the .pts. If its not in xyz columns youll have to manipulate it in xls first and save it as a tab delineated .txt file then save as a .pts.

      I am also looking for some help with point clouds.  I have a .txt and an .xyz file from a CMM.  Creo does not pull these files in if I simply change the file extension to a pts.  There are probably a million XYZ points in this file.  The first few lines look like this:

      L0##2##2##0.015269##-0.991260##0.131033

      2.425981, 2.602559, 6.097227

      2.421572, 2.602123, 6.098048

      2.419363, 2.601879, 6.098464

      Throughout the file there are several more lines like the first one.  I am suspicious something is wrong with the lines starting with L0## that I need to edit them in order for the file to work?
