Hello again
I have a sketch in which i want to get the GLOBAL coordinates of a point. The skecth position within 3d changes with different configurations (design table). So in one configuration, the sketch is say 3 metres from the origin and another it is 5 metres... etc.
At the moment, using the getSelectedObject3 method for the point, the returned value for x, y, z are referenced to the SKETCH ORIGIN, not the global origin. When the Measure tool is used (manually) though, it returns what i want - GLOBAL COORDS for the point, in 3d space.
So, im currently doing a lot of trigonometry lets say
(relating sketch origin to global origin etc)
Does API allow access to the measure tool, and its results?
Thanks
