How Extract coordinates from Catia by VB6

How Extract coordinates from Catia by VB6

(OP)
Hello everybody,

I'm really novice about programming on VB6. I've a 100 similar CATIApart, and I want to create a method to extract dimensions of these part and export to excel. I've already created the method to export to excel but if you know one method to measure length between two points or point-line or line-line, I will be really happy If someone help me.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

What does it means for you dimensions? Like a bounding box, or in a drawing or specific features or something else?

For some type of them you have already the answer in other forums...

Regards
Fernando

Hi fernando,

to be precise I have a 3D part, my idea is to create a code to create automatically points at important positions (corner, center of a hole, ...), exctract these coordinates and finally export on a excel file the different distances between the points.

To answer you "dimension" for me is close of a bounding box, I suppose.

So I really don't know if it's a good method, or we can do it by an other way such as use references, or something else.

regards,

Alexandre
