Import points with cad model via igs

Hello, this is the first time I've tried something like this and I'm not sure if it's possible... I'm importing a cad model via IGS and one of the layers of the model contains some points given to me from the engineering dept, but when I open the program the layer of points is just blank. All the surfaces and lines etc show as normal, but the points don't seem to transfer... Is it not possible to import points with the surfaces?

I'm using pcDmis MR1 custom

What I use to import points is a .XYZ file, once imported into PCDMIS just pick the point label and the demon takes its point name, nominal and vectors in the auto-circle menu....

This is a sample of the XYZ file:

XYZIJK METRIC
Measurement Point Report

U794KBA0FB12 5542.00 39.43 824.70 0.869 0.000 -0.496
R480BDX0F324 5551.50 299.83 872.00 0.886 0.134 -0.445

It is a simple text file (.XYZ extension) with point(s) label(s) x,y,z and i,j,k values for each point.
