Hi Fernando, Hi Eric,
it's always nice to find your replies!
Eric, thank you very much for your links, they would be really useful considering that are the two cases in which i had troubles:
about the extraction of vertices' coordinates i used getcoordinates and it didnt work, i will try the...
Hi Fernando, Hi Eric,
Thank you guys for your replies, always useful!
At the beginning i tried using the getcoordinates method, but i got an error (object doesn't support this property or method),
so i thought it was not possible to use it for vertices.
After your replies i tried using a code...
Hi Fernando,
i am really sorry to disturb you again, but if you can i need the last advice.
I finally solved the problem i asked you in the last message, and finally i can extract the vertices for every surface,
i would like to ask you how can i convert a vertex to a point?
because i know...
Hi Fernando,
I am trying to adapt the code you sent me to my part, and considering that i tried so many times but i couldnt succeed in making "selectelement2" working (windows 7 64 bit), i am trying with a loop for every face.
I modified it in this way, it extracts all the faces but then, even...
Hi Fernando,
the books i mean are:
CATIA V5: Macro Programming with Visual Basic Script (Dieter Ziethen)
VB Scripting for CATIA V5 ( Emmett Ross)
The first book is quite big around 700 pages, in the second i guess you cant find anything you dont yet know.
About the first I have the PDF, if...
Hi Fernando,

Without your help for me would be impossible, i will try to use it as soon i have time, and will let you know if i succeded.
Can i ask you where did you study it so well? because i bought the only two books i found about...
Hi Fernando,
thank you for the link and the suggestions.
Correct me if i am wrong, your suggestion is set a different color for each face and then for example search using this query?
(Color=Magenta & Topology.Vertex),all
I tried, but doesnt find anything, its like the vertex has not a...
Hi Fernando,
thank again for your reply and your patience with me!
first: thank you for your tip about the "enable hybrid design" i didnt notice it (i am not so good at CATIA, just universitary use)
second: for external surface i mean what you get when you search "Face" in the part.(if i...
Hi Fernando,
thank again for your reply.
i am only considering a part with planar or cylindrical external surfaces on the plans xy-yz-zx or plans parallel to them.
the information i need are:
- number of external surfaces, type of each surface (cylinder or plan )
- positioning plan for each...
From what i understood, to set a specification on a plane the procedure is:
Dim annotation As Annotation
Dim usersurface As UserSurface
Dim reference As Reference
Dim UserSurfaceList As UserSurfaces
Set UserSurfaceList = part1.UserSurfaces
set the plane As selection
set reference...

Hi Fernando,
First of all thank you for your reply!
Attached is the image of the part, do you also need the file?
As you can see it is a simple part with some specifications, and i need to enumerate the surfaces of the part,
and then somehow to understand for each surface if there are...
