XYZ point locations on a drawing
XYZ point locations on a drawing
(OP)
Does anyone know of a company that writes GRIP programs or Journal files? My company needs a program to label XYZ point locations on a drawing. We are using the drawing for electrode locations so we also want it to label the component that the points belong to on the drawing. I know it is possible, but I'm not sure of the best way to do it. We currently copy and paste from the listing window, but it is very time consuming and errors get made too often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There was nothing in the .zip file. Can you please try it again? Thanks.

I don't understand why the leader goes out in space when you place the numbers on a drawing though. I think it is something to do with the view? I think we also want to add a line for the trode name.
RE: XYZ point locations on a drawing
The selected point cannot be selected using the often normally used inferred point option. This is because with the inferred method we get the drawing view and not the model view. Since we need model point data this could give us errors. It also gives us an error in terms of the label attachment point since here we need to convert the model data to drawing data since the label is placed on the drawing. If you take care to use a point selection method which ensures it is a point on the model then it should work OK.
Having said this I should have you check the nx8 version of the program which I have attached. In this case I needed to expand the drawing view to select the model point. I typically dont worry about release updates which may be part of the answer.
I dont know what "trode name" is but it would be simple to add an additional line.

The Trode name is actually the component name. Do I need programing software to add that line? What software would I need?
