Hello
In lieu of 100% measurements from taping (let's say); can I import data from a LMD to fix important points spatially to begin a sketch? Can an excel file of spatial coordinates be utilized bu Onshape?
Thanks for your assistance.
Robert

I understand you can import a csv file containing point data and work from that. I'm sure someone with the experience will be along shortly...Cheers,Owen S.Business Systems and Configuration Controller

You can see an example featurescript for importing a csv file and turning the data into point bodies/curves here. Alternatively, if you are looking for a slightly more complicated example, this featurescript takes a csv and builds an airfoil with it
