BLK FORM

[kukelyk]

Hi.
Is there a solution to get correct values into the BLK FORM?
I have some ideas, but no solution:
Can I get the min. and max. coordinatesof a block with Journal?
Can I get expression values with Journal?
Can I get point coordinates with Journal?
Can I get point coordinates in a Machining Csys. with Journal?
Thanks in advance,

Run this code with one or more block objects in the part, perhaps it will help.

Thanks for your help.
Your code is OK, but I have some problem with it.
There is a Block feature in my CAM template, what I use as 'Blank'.
1. If I link the master model to the CAM, there will be 2 bodies.
2. The block has a different size, so I have to change it, Offset, Move face, etc.
If I resize the block, and Move the block's upper face center point to 0,0,0 :
The 'move face' may has no parameter values.

If I make two points to the corners of the block, they will link to the endpoints, so they also have no parameter values.
If I create 6 measurements, from the 0,0,0: it is correct, but how can I get them with the Journal?

OK, if we redefine the block, it will give correct information, but there can be other blocks, like check bodies, etc.

Thanks in advance
