You can add the excel worksheet to the proe drawing as follows:
From the menus pick Insert, Object
In the dialog box select "Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet" as the Object Type.
To select your existing worksheet, select Create from File and browse to find the desired worksheet.
Youmay need to change the background color to be able to see the spreadsheet and you will need to plot with MS Printer Manager to plot the spreadsheet.
Oh !!! this must be a plate cam. I remember doing this juglery while in Autocad. A script was written using the points to generate a closed pline which was then given to the wire EDM.
You can do this in a better way using graphs, datum curves with equations (for raise and fall) and straight portions for dwell.This would reduce the file size and easy to edit. However you will have to figure out the equations yourself.
That gives another possibility.... Perhaps with Mathcad integration ...!!!
