Select From file to enter or browse to a text file with the cut point data. Enter the path and filename in the Filename field, or click Browse () to browse to the file using the Coordinate File window that opens. You can also click the downward arrow beside the Browse button and choose Browse From () to open the fullscreen Select File window. Click the downward arrow for the File Location Actions menu () to choose Show in Auxiliary Data () to move to the row for this file in the Auxiliary Data window, Copy File Location (), and (if you have copied a file location) Paste File Location (). You can use text files (*.txt) or, if the license includes LiveLink™ for Excel®, Microsoft Excel Workbook files (*.xlsx). The file format is such that each row contains N coordinates for an N-dimensional cut point. That is, each row contains coordinate values like the following example, for a 3D case:

Select Grid to enter grid coordinates for gridded data. For Cut Point 1D, enter x coordinates; for Cut Point 2D, enter x and y coordinates; and for Cut Point 3D, enter x, y, and z coordinates.
|
•
|
Select Regular grid to specify the number of points in each direction. Enter Number of x points, Number of y points (Cut Point 2D and 3D), and Number of z points (Cut Point 3D only). The default value is 10 points in each direction.
