List of coordinates of holes

[canadairman]

hi,

I would like to generate a list of coordinates of all holes in a plate.

I know that normally, we can say the positions of holes with dimensions lines but if you have a lot of holes, you see nothing anymore with all these lines.

I know that some other CAD programs like Catia, generate this kind of coordinates tables of holes present on the part.

I would like the same for the annotation module of OSD.

Thanks

Hi I know it can also be done in Mechanical Desktop & Inventor,

there you select which point of view should be seen as 0,0 point and what X+ and Y+ directions are (in fact as far as I know its possible to rotate the axis, if required for machining/production)

maybe it can be done using/selecting a CoordinateSystem

maybe this is a nice idea/enhancementrequest?? :cool:

greetings

Hi,

I made a lisp routine that makes a list of all circular holes in a Flat View.
Maybe you can use it, so I attached it to this post.
Sorry, I'm not a Lisp expert, so I didn't know how to count or sort the holes...

Regards,
Jaap
