    Help/ advice needed; getting absolute coordinates

    Hi I am working on a macro for extracting the absolute coordingates for the points making up a polyline, and have been tinkering around with the existing functions at http://www.eng-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1824. I am using the function for getting relative coordinates, and I have integrated the...

    Advice/ help needed; macro code for selecting Absolute Axis system in Catia

    Hi again Thanks for the tip. I've been playing around with the code for getting coordinates from a specified axissystem, but I've run into a problem. Hope you can help me. If you check the code under you link, the public function LCS uses a custom datatype named iPct. When I try to get...

    Advice/ help needed; macro code for selecting Absolute Axis system in Catia

    Hi! I need som help with my macro code. I'm working on a macro to create drawing tables with X, Y and Z coordinates for 3D points. So far I managed to get it working properly and it spits out nice tables, no problem there. However, I want it to always extract coordinates relative to the absolute...

    Creating a Points Coordinates Table - Catia R19

    mz7dyj I've been working on a macro for this exact purpose. We make pipes and similar structures at my job so I put together this macro to speed up things. It takes points from the 3D, extracts the x, y and z coordinates and makes a table on the drawing. You can use this as a guide and tweek...

    Does anybody know how to extract the coordinates for the points in a polyline?

    Thanks alot! This worked perfectly. I was even able to add length measurement of the polyline aswell. Awsome, thanks. Btw, does this forum have a "collection thread" for macros/ functions like this? I guess alot of people could benefit from the soulutions that are created here.

    Does anybody know how to extract the coordinates for the points in a polyline?

    It's a 3D polyline, with ordinare 3D points, used for creating pipes and similar structures. The problem is that I can't find out how the "GetElement" method should present the data when there are multiple variables in the method. Everything else works fine. The goal is simply to create a table...

    Does anybody know how to extract the coordinates for the points in a polyline?

    I'm trying to write a macro that can create a coordinate table for all the points making up a polyline. So far I've been able to export the coordinates of ordinary points to Excel. However, polylines have proven difficult. I found code for the polyline.getElement method, but how is the result...
