Hi,

I have a sketch containing point clouds (>1,000). I can read (get) coordinates of these points from the sketch using these two commands:

sketchPointArray = swSketch.GetSketchPoints2
Xi = sketchPointArray(i).X: Yi = sketchPointArray(i).Y

I want to edit coordinates of these points uisng Solidworks VBA. Does anyone know what method to use to modify coordinates of the points? Is there a command to set coordinates?

swSketch.SetSketchPoints2 (I made this up. I assume there is a "Set" sketch points method)

Best regards,

Alex

You probably already have done this, but posting this on the actual SW forum might be a better resource (some API giants on there). I wouldn't know how to do this in API, but you can do this from SW itself in multiple ways (i.e. move sketch components). If you need a programmable approach then I will leave this to others for assistance :)
