title: Is there a way to exchange data with CATIA V5 R20 using java?
body: <p>I often times have the need to import 3D points (x,y,z data) into the CAD software CATIA. Currently I do this by creating an excel spreadsheet using a java library, and then executing a visual basic macro from within excel to add the data to CATIA.
  Now I'm not much of a VB guy, which is why I'd like to skip the excel step and directly send data to CATIA. Is there a way to do this? Maybe a java library to allow me to call VB code? Or maybe there is a java api to CATIA which I could use?</p>
  
  <p>Kind regards,
