UPDATE: I think I solved this.
Switched companies and now use 3DExperience and am wanting to get Point2D coordinates in the 3D space. I can get the objects coordinates in a 2D space referenced from the sketch axis, but not from the basic axis. I used to get at this issue with the SPAWorkbench and measure function. I haven't found anything from an internet search that has solved this. Anyone on here have a good solution? Also, anyone know of an API for 3Dx? I appreciate any assistance!
I'm using Excel VBA to Get and Put points and struggling on the Get side of things.
This code did run for normal Points prior to me adding in the SPA stuff.
UPDATE:
I was stumped for a good long while and then found a breadcrumb 30 minutes after I asked the question. That's how it works right! Corrected code shown below.
