    Import line through XYZ coordinates

    Insert line through XYZ coordinates. Is this possible in solidworks. I am lookong for a solution similar to insert curve through XYZ coordinates.

    I would like also that it would allow me to insert lines, that are self-intersecting.

    I would use this for path, that would my assembly go on.

    not sure how many lines you have, but you can do a 3d sketch, and either create points of the endpoints, and give them xyz coords, or you could create the lines and then move the endpoints to the correct xyz coords..

    I'm sure it could be done with a design table, but thats beyond me atm..
    Just when you thought you had it all figured out, all hell breaks loose..
