Export points coordinates from CATIA to EXCEL (or to a text file)

Hi,

Please take a look here on what you can find if you use Search function of the forum

Thank you ferdo for your reply.

I have use Search function and found an interesting thread related to my problem. Apparently, I can use a design table to export my points but I have a problem with this. Here it is:
In my Catia, I have 11 separated splines. For each spline, I define two reference points (type: on curve) on the spline and then with the '' points and planes repetition '' command I generate many points on the spline (between these two reference points). By default, all the generated points are ''on curve '' type; so when I use the design table, all I got in excel is the length of each point to one of the two reference points that I have created at first. Now, when I change the type of the points from ''on curve'' to ''coordinates''; and when I use again the design table, I have my x,y,z coordinates. My problem is that I`m changing manually the type of the points, one by one, from ''on curve'' to ''coordinates''; I have 300 points per spline and this will take me long time. Do you know a way to select all points and change their type to '' coordinates '' directly by one shot?

Thank you again,

Jun

It can be done with a macro. If you don't know how to do it by programming, you can save the part as igs and read the content with a text editor. There are several threads regarding this method to get points coordinates.
