Curve Through XYZ Points Enhancements

The Insert > Curve > Curve Through XYZ Points functionality uses a PropertyManager in which you can select a different coordinate system. The points of the curve transform into the space of the coordinate system.

In earlier releases, this functionality used a dialog box and could only use the origin of the part for the curve.

In the PropertyManager, you can:
  • Manually enter the XYZ coordinate data.
  • Click Browse to select a .sldcrv or .txt file.
  • Click Reload to update the curve based on any modifications made to the .sldcrv or .txt file used to create it.

When you open files created before SOLIDWORKS 2025 and edit curves created by XYZ points, in the PropertyManager, under Reference Coordinate System, the software uses the origin for Coordinate System (Origin) .
