How to take points on the curve during the use of SolidWorks

Sometimes you need to get the coordinates of a certain point on the curve, or convert the curve into point coordinate data. Currently there are no direct tools and commands in SolidWorks. We can use other techniques, as follows:

1. Figure 1 is a spline curve on the front reference plane.

Second, select "Insert" → "Reference Geometry" → "Point" in the menu bar

Third, select the spline in the "Select" item, you can set the insertion point according to the "distance", "percent" or "evenly distributed" type.

As shown in the red box in the figure.

Fourth, determine

5. Create a new sketch on the front reference plane (because the original curve is on the forward reference plane), click the Convert Entity Reference command, select the point you just inserted, and make sure that the points are available in the sketch.

6. In the sketch editing state, click the corresponding point to know the coordinates of the point.
