This mode allows you to create, for example, XYZ annotations attached to selected points or entities.

First, select the data to be extracted (see: Selection of the coordinates to be extracted)

We will, for example, use the point or vertex selection mode, and we will enable all selection filters.


 


Then, simply select a circular arc or a vertex for example to automatically create an associative 3D annotation, which means that if the model evolves, the annotations are automatically updated.


 


Then validate the function:


 


The tool then creates a Macro Feature at the bottom of the design tree:


 


Any change in geometry will update the coordinates without having to re-edit the function thanks to this Macro Feature.

It is still possible to edit the function to add an annotation or change the options for example.

Then simply right-click on the function: GetCoordinates3D and choose: Edit the function .
