Solid Edge Solid Edge Crash When Importing Point Cloud Data

Solid Edge crashes when importing point cloud data in the XYZ format. The user provided a point cloud file that causes a crash upon import into a new assembly.

The provided point cloud file is not correctly formatted for import into Solid Edge.

The XYZ file format is expected to consist of three columns representing X, Y, and Z coordinates separated by spaces, as documented in the standard format guide here, which Solid Edge relies on for correct import.

The customer file contains four columns separated by commas, which causes the crash.

Steps to resolve:

1. Open the point cloud file in a text editor.

2. Replace all commas with spaces.

3. Save the file.

4. Reimport the corrected file into Solid Edge, which should now load without crashing.
