    I have an Excel file with x,y coordinates. I need to make a sketch
    with lines connecting each point. Any idea how to do this without
    entering each coordinate manually?

    Go to Help for "curves, through XYZ points" and try that. I have not tried
    it yet, but it looks like it would do what you want to do.

    Curves through XYZ points gives me a spline through the points.
    Unfortunately, I need straight line segments. Good suggestion
    though.....

    Record a macro drawing single click lines. Then put the macro into
    excel, grab the xy valuesfrom the spread sheet and put them into the
    sketch. Don't forget to convert to metres.

    Philippe Guglielmetti wrote a nice macro to do this called "Sketchfile"
    after I made a request on this group (sorry my boss renaged Philippe).
    Don't know if I can pass it on now as I understand all Philippes work
    may now belong to e-systems. Philippe...........?
