I have a catpart file with multiple surface in it. I also have, for each surface, a inertia measurment. What I am trying to do is to extract the area in each measurements and export them in a txt file or excel. I know that it is possible to export individually each measurement in a txt file but it would took way too long to do all the measurements. I think ther is a way to extract theses information with a vbscript or a catscript but since I am not really familiar with the vb programming, I am requesting your help.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Well, indeed this can be achieved faster in vb...now, depend on what are you trying to do...do you have a solid and want to extract some specific faces and do the measurements or... ?

The script is a little bit more elaborate in first case because you need to extract first faces (eventually in a new GS), then rename them (I suppose you need different names), then do the measurement, then create a text file and append all measurements...and all in a loop, of course...

Fernando
