    Macro and/or Equation help

    I have data that is in a spreadsheet, and I am wondering if you can set up a macro or an equation that would take this data and convert it into contours on numerous planes.
    The shape is a solid and is there a way to convert the data or have a macro whereas the data will be inputed just as you would input the data for say a gear or a toolbox function and it would produce the desired output?

    Regards,

    Gregory

    the shapes are two dimensional curves on different planes in the (Z?) axis? you can write a macro within (Excel) to do that, then save on another sheet , save it as text, in a format your machine can read the hardest part is the curves. You need to write a decision making part to determine if it is a G2 or G3....How difficult this is going to be, depends on how your data is formatted....

    I can format the data anyway it needs to be to get this done. It is best to upload an image and then it may make more sense. The stations in the file will be planes and the numbers are in inches, the other data will be used to make the shape on each plane.

    Regards,
