MATLAB: Problems with saving a dat. file!

siemens nx .dat file

Hi everybody!
I have a problem with a saved dat. file! This is my code:
punkte_sort (:,3) = 0;
save ('myfolder\Bohrergeometrie.dat','punkte_sort')
punkte_ sort is a spreadsheet with xand y coordinates. The third column is the z-coordinate!
I would like to import a .dat file into Siemens NX 8.5 but the programme does not accept the file! I also tried to generate a .txt file but it is not my wished result! Does somebody have an idea what the problem is?
I created an .xlsx file and it worked! I got all my correct information… unfortunately NX cannot work with an excel file!
Thank you for your help

Well you just zeroed out your z values. Anyway, try dlmwrite() or csvwrite() and see if NX likes that. Otherwise find out what format NX can take and make the file in that format.
