Hi,
is somebody here who can help to find/develop a NX macro which generate X,Y,Z coordinate in table and do annotation as well?
The Coordinate system to be selected too.
System: NX.11

Macro description.
1. Select Csys in the drawing, where coordinates are referring to.
2. Select view where the annotations will be created.
2. select points by multi selection in view or Part navigator window.
3. Coordinate table will be created. Annotations with leaders will be created in selected view. Table is NX compatible Tabular note.

Point feature name= Annotation name

Thank you in advance.

The specification is not a small job , not something one will make into a finished piece of code in an afternoon.
I do not remember when the NX hole table was implemented, but the specifications you describe sounds pretty much like the hole table.
Is it possible to install a newer version of NX ?

Regards,
Tomas

If you search "point table journal" on this forum, you will get several results. I don't know if any of them tick all your boxes, but I know that none of them will be associative to the point objects. As Toost mentioned, a hole table might be a better choice.

Thank you for your opinion, but hole table is not good for me. Using hole table I can not select points and CSYS.

My points are placed on the A-surface of a plastic part in 3D space. The Points coordinates should refer to local positioning system of the part. This is why I need to select specific CSYS also.
My hope is somebody can perhaps share similar journal, as the A-Surface measuring points coordinate table is very common in the Industry. Using this table and CMM measuring method is the usual way how the deviations of the real part vs. 3D mmodel is measured. (My current part has about 100 measuring points and I fill it manually at the moment. it is time consuming and generate errors)

I found some similar macros here but the table was not type "nx tabular note", so no table operations like sort the data / add remove cells etc. was possible.
