protoolkit - load coordiantes

[bocian49]

I starting programing with protoolkit and I want to create application which load a coordinates of points created in part to some text document. Is it possible?



I work with Creo Parametric 1.0



Thanks for answer

use ProPointCoordGet() .. it will return 3D vector with values of x,y,z co-rdinates using C++ calls write them to text document.

Read in the API Wizard about visiting geometry. You will learn how to traverse the features of a solid and then to visit each geometry item of the feature. You can then call APIs to get the X, Y, Z coordinates of the geometry in the solid coordinate system. If you need the points out in a different coordinate system then you will have to transform the point by using a matrix. It's all a LOT OF FUN...

Thanks for your answers.

I have one more question.

I created application which load points and print coordinates to text file with your help. But I want to skip hidden points.

I tried to use function ProGeomitemIsInactive but application writes coordinates of hidden points to file. Is it the proper function for my problem or I have to use some other function?

Thanks for your answers

Regards

I would give try to following APIs-
ProFeatureStatusGet()
ProFeatureElemIsVisible().
