Grip prog for outputing x,y,z points.

Grip prog for outputing x,y,z points.

(OP)
Is there a way of outputing points from a UG part into a text file of there x,y,z values?
At the moment we use a grip file called 'points2file' to output the x,y,z values of points on aerofoil sections of turbine blades.
Although this works well it requires that you create the points on a curve and then select them one by one and in the correct order (you can't just drag a box around them) to output the x,y,z figures.

Does anybody know of a grip file which would output x,y,z points without having to select each one individually, or maybe a site where one could be found?

RE: Grip prog for outputing x,y,z points.

yes..u have to write one program.u can fecth all point using MASK option,and it can read the  ordinate value one by one and show to information window.function is there to read ordinate value from a particular point or line or any object
