Reading in Points

I want to read in a points.pts file space delineated ...

1 2 3


Except I want to rename the pnts in proe from the text file.

name x y z
PNT0 1 2 3

??? Any ideas? There are a bunch load of files

Found something on google concerning points.

about halfway, is this statement

<code> elem.innerHTML += "<br> " + model.FileName + ": "
+ point.GetName() + " (Id " + point.Id + ")"
+ ", XYZ= ( "
+ pnt3d.Item(0) + ", "
+ pnt3d.Item(1) + ", "
+ pnt3d.Item(2) + " )"
;</code></pre>

which uses Id instead of Name. It also points to using Jlink to accomplish what you are after.

Hope that helps some.

Not sure if that will allow you to give the points the names you want





if you use the offset coordinate system datum point tool irt will list the point as they are created, but Proe takes care of the point name


if you have a empty model it will follow your naming pnt1,2,3...


but if pnt already exists in the model then it's not going to rename existing point to now follow the naming you want


output of the saved file


!
! DATUM POINT ARRAY DATA FILE
!
! Comment lines should begin with an exclamation mark (!).
! You may have as many comment lines as you wish.
! There must be at least one space between values.
!
! Enter values with respect to datum arrays' coordinate system:
!
!CARTESIAN coordinates:
! X&nbsp ; Y&nbsp ; Z
!
1.00&n bsp; 0.00&n bsp; 0.00
2.00&n bsp; 0.00&n bsp; 0.00
3.00&n bsp; 0.00&n bsp; 0.00
4.00&n bsp; 0.00&n bsp; 0.00
5.00&n bsp; 0.00&n bsp; 0.00





it's throwing in the tabs..so the formats is wacky. vs the table that you entered from












which shows the name... and autonames it as you go..but when saved it doesn't


save name





so i would think that if you have a bunch of files that you want your naming to follow .. then start with a empty model





make sense?
