Hello,

Is there a possibility to import a file (txt or csv) containing circle coordinates (x, y and diameter) ?

Thanks,

It's probably easiest to do this with a script.  The syntax in items 1 & 2 is standard for Python.  I think it will work in the script editor, but you might need to make some minor changes.

1. Read the file into the script

   # Open function to open the file "MyFile1.txt" 

   # (same directory) in append mode and

   file1 = open("MyFile.txt","a")
    

2. Iterate to pick up 1 set of (X, Y, r) values: File_object.readline([n])
    
3. Create the circle:

   # Set Sketch Plane
   selection = DatumPlane1
   result = ViewHelper.SetSketchPlane(selection, Info3)
   # EndBlocks

   # Sketch Circle
   origin = Point2D.Create(MM(X), MM(Y))
   result = SketchCircle.Create(origin, MM(r))
   # EndBlock

4. Repeat the process for the next set of (X, Y, r) values
