3D path in SolidEdge10

[jorgem]

How can I draw a 3D path, from a coordinate table (x, y, z), keeping the straight lines between each pair of vertex points ?
(no smoothening, I need the vertex points, "3D curve" is not useful)

Thanks.

What you need is a means of doing a 3D sketch. As far as I know, Solid Edge doesn't have that. I had a similar problem in the past before 3D curve was availible. I asked a SE-AE about it and he said to make 2 different surfaces that intersect each other. Then create and intersection curve using the 2 surfaces. Then hide the 2 surfaces. What you're left with is the intersection curve.

I think 3Dcurve could help me if it would work the way I need, I mean, is it possible to configure 3Dcurve in order to draw the path between each pair of points as a straight line ?

That is to say, is there any way you can tell SE how to do the smoothening of the path when using the command 3Dcurve ?

Thank you.

As far as I know, no, there is no way to define how the "curve" in a 3D Curve is controled.
