I've searched high and low and maybe I skipped write over it but how can I create a vb journal to extract points (non-timestamp geometry) to a file with the point name? I'm talking about a point that has been renamed (i.e. Point "PNT1") in non-timestamp geometry. A couple of these come close but I haven't found one yet:
This code outputs points but no name.
Here is another thread but again no point name:
This code outputs points but no name.
Code:
'
' This journal should write the XYZ values of all points in the
' work part to a new .dat file.
'
' It will drop the ".prt" from the file name and append "_points.dat".
'
' As written, it separates the fields with a comma and a space,
' but you can easily change that.
'
' Also, note that the "F6" specifies that 6 digits will be shown to the
' right of the decimal, even if they are all zeroes.
' You can change that too, of course.
'
