Macro for converting datum points to explicit coords
Macro for converting datum points to explicit coords
(OP)
Dear fellow CATIA enthusiasts,
I sometimes need to convert lots of datum points (no history) to the equivalent points with x,y,z coord history.
Manually, I RMB on the datum point and change type from explicit to coordinates and it gives me the previously greyed out x,y z value.
I've tried to record macros to do this but haven't had much luck.
Can anyone shed any light on how I need to develop the macro? I'm not a VB trained person but have some knowledge of it's use with V5.
Look forward to hearing any useful suggestions.
Cheers,
Dex

There is a possibility to embed the x,y,z coordinates using Loops; do you have Knowledge Advisor?
