Version: 1.3
Document Type: Part

Imports named points from a text or CSV file into CATIA as datum points in a new geometric set. Each point is given the name specified in the file. See Insert Points Catia if your file does not contain names.

1. Open a CATPart document
2. Run the script
3. A file browser dialog appears — select your TXT or CSV file
4. Points are created in a new geometric set named Point Inport

Text file (.txt) — space separated:

PT_001 10.0 5.0 2.5
PT_002 20.0 5.0 2.5
PT_003 30.0 5.0 0.0

CSV file (.csv) — comma separated:

PT_001,10.0,5.0,2.5
PT_002,20.0,5.0,2.5
PT_003,30.0,5.0,0.0

The first value on each line is the point name, followed by X, Y, Z. If a line contains only a name and two coordinates, Z is set to 0 automatically. Lines with fewer than three values are skipped.

• Points are created as isolated datums — no parametric link to the coordinate values
• There is no error correction beyond skipping short lines — ensure your file is clean before importing
• For points without names use Insert Points Catia
