Get Length

(OP)
Hello,I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to measure the length along the x, y and z coordinates of every model part in the assembly in a journal. I tried using the bounding box function but the numbers it is giving me will not work. I'd have to use a transformation matrix to convert them to the correct values. Are there other functions I can use?

RE: Get Length

Have a look into the Siemens GTAC library.
There are several program there dealing with the Bounding Box function.
"create part attributes from exact bounding box" might be close to what you're looking for.
