How to choose point in assembly and detrmine its coordinates ?
Sure Set swApp = Application.SldWorks Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc boolstatus = Part.Extension.SelectByID2("Point7@Szkic 3D10", "EXTSKETCHPOINT", 0, 0, 0, False, 0, Nothing, 0) Set swSelMgr = Part.SelectionManager Set Measure = Part.Extension.CreateMeasure boolstatus =...- verga

How to choose point in assembly and detrmine its coordinates ?
Hello, I finally found the way and used Part.Extension.CreateMeasure. It gives back good coordinates when used .X , .Y and .Z parameters. Thank you- verga

How to choose point in assembly and detrmine its coordinates ?
It works only when interactive. I think problem is in zeros from selectbyID2. They aren't used to select specific part, because it is selected by name, but I think it puts 0 values in X Y and Z variables. Maybe there is another command to select without those parameters?- verga

How to choose point in assembly and detrmine its coordinates ?
Sorry for rush. I solved right point selection by drawing it and selecting by Part.Extension.SelectByID2("Point@3D sketch", "EXTSKETCHPOINT", 0, 0, 0, False, 0, Nothing, 0) Works fine, but with this selection example of getting coordinates from API help doesn't seem to work. With Dim...- verga

How to choose point in assembly and detrmine its coordinates ?
Maybe it will be better to draw a point at the end of the arm and get coordinates of this point ? I tried to select such point but with no result. Only could select sketch on which it was drawn.- verga

How to choose point in assembly and detrmine its coordinates ?
Hello, I am new in SolidWorks API. I don't know how through VBA choose specific point on assembly ( in this case it is end of robotic arm ). And check its coordinates which will be used later. Could someone give me a working example which I could analize ? Thank you in advance. P.S. This is...- verga
