The end result is that the selected points are automatically annotated on the drawing and listed in a point table.

You can refine your selection by applying filters.

A GetCoordinates2D function corresponds to a single coordinate table, but it is possible to create multiple coordinate tables—that is, multiple MacroFeatures —by running the tool multiple times.

 


This is used when creating a drawing of a part or an assembly.

  • First, you must select the selection method. The user can choose from two methods for extracting coordinates:
    • " 3D Mode " method: Extracts X, Y, and Z data from the model's 3D coordinate system. Selection can be made across multiple views.
    • " Projected Mode " method: Extracts X and Y data in the XY coordinate system from a single view. All selected entities are projected onto a plane parallel to the sheet (the Z axis is ignored).
  • Next, you need to use a formatted table. If no table exists, you need to create a template; you can create multiple templates depending on the information you want to include in the final table.
  • Next, you need to define the format of the extracted coordinates,specifically by choosing the coordinate system (origin of the coordinates).
  • If it is not "1," set the starting number, then the number for the next selection, and, if necessary, the associated comment.
  • Select the coordinate sets to extract. Selection filters can be enabled.
  • Finally, you can configure certain options,such as assigning the information generated by GetCoordinates2D to layers.
  • Each GetCoordinates2D function corresponds to exactly one coordinate table. You can create multiple coordinate tables—that is, multiple MacroFeatures —by launching the tool multiple times. These functions are located in the FeatureManager.
