Inkscape and CorelDraw are both popular programs for making graphics, but they have different features. CorelDraw does cost money, but it has extra features and a lot of support, which makes it a good investment for professional designers. CorelDraw is paid software, so you need a license to use it. This is especially helpful for people who are just starting out or don’t have much money. Inkscape stands out because it is open-source, which means that anyone can use it for free.

Import Header Defined - mport Text File to 3D Curve with Header Information (Line, Spline, Point, etc).

Import Reference Points - Create reference points based on text point locations located in a text file.

Use Header information to import different curve types. If the text file is made up of just point locations, the data will fit a spline through the points.

Import Spline – Select this option to import data points that will be fitted with a spline curve.

Under the Menu, select Import into 3D Sketch and the desired Import option:.

Note that the 3D Curve Tool command bar is activated in the Scene Browser container:

From within an active scene, select the 3D Curve Shape tool from the Surface Fluent Ribbon Bar or 3D Curve Creation toolbar.

If the 3D Curve resides on a surface, the Z axis will align normal to the surface while aligning the X axis to the 3D Curve. By default the shape will maintain its original orientation.

Orient along tangent – Select this option to orient the X direction of the anchor along the tangency of the curve.

Evenly Distributed – Select this option to evenly distribute the number of copies/links along the curve.

Note: Not available if Evenly Distributed is set.

Distance – Enter the distance spacing along the curve.

Number – Set the number of copies/links.

In the resulting pop-up menu, select copy/link along the curve (Note: Link is not supported in Structured Parts).
