Good day everyone!,

I'm creating a macro where I need the user to select the end limits of a polyline. I'm using next line of code:

FEATURE PRIMITIVE POLYLINE ANCHOR OPEN ( )

But the problem is that sometimes it creates it with Primitive status "Nominal" and sometimes as "Measured". I need it to be "Nominal" always. I have noticed that it uses the primitive status that you assigned to last feature created.

Also, when I run the macro, the usual Polyline Feature menu is not displayed, so the user is not allowed to change it himself.

Someone knows if it's actually a way to state that I want to create "Nominal" polylines all the time? The command I'm using does not allow any other options...

Thanks in advance!!

I figured out the way to get the index. I think I was using the wrong command according to the kind of feature that I was trying to handle. I just used a different command and that did the trick:

#Declaring needed variables
DECLARE Point1Name
DECLARE Point2Name
DECLARE var1

#Creating the lower point by anchor method and storing the name @Point1Name
FEATURE PRIMITIVE POINT ANCHOR
TREEVIEW OBJECT PROPERTIES NAME GET ( Point1Name )

#Getting the X, Y and Z coordinates from the Lower Point
TREEVIEW FEATURE INDEX GET ( $Point1Name, var1) ( $Point1Name , var1 )

Anyway, I just wanted to post it in case someone else runs into similar issue in the future.  :)

Thanks!

Good day,

I´m really novice in Polyworks Macro, and I'm trying to get the index of a specific feature. I found the next command:

TREEVIEW PRIMITIVE POINT INDEX GET ( string, integer )
Description : Gets the index number of a point primitive from its name

But I cannot make it work, or maybe it's not intended to what I want to do... Here is a substract of the macro that I have so far:

#Declaring needed variables
DECLARE Point1Name
DECLARE Point2Name
DECLARE var1

#Creating the lower point by anchor method and storing the name @Point1Name
FEATURE PRIMITIVE POINT ANCHOR
TREEVIEW OBJECT PROPERTIES NAME GET ( Point1Name )

#Getting the X, Y and Z coordinates from the Lower Point
TREEVIEW PRIMITIVE POINT INDEX GET ( $Point1Name , var1 )

I'll appreciate if someone can help with this hehe...
Thank you!!

Admin,

That's exactly what I was looking for. I contacted the technical support and they provided that solution.

Thanks!!

Is there a way to create a cross section around a radial shape? I mean, a cross section which is along a plane, but along a radial curve...

Thanks in advance!!

Hello,

I'm a newbie Polyworks user, so I was checking out some basic trainings, and I notice that in older versions (Not sure exactly what version) there was a "Compare" Tab, which includes Data to Reference, Data to Primitive, Data to Data options... I'm using Polyworks 2014 and to create the comparison maps I have been using the option "Data Color Maps". I guess that the layout changed and they moved/renamed some commands..

1.- Is my guess (Compare -> Data to Reference    = EQUAL TO =   Data Object Deviations from Reference Object Surfaces) right?
2.- If my first guess is right, I feel that "Compare" tab had more options than the "Data Color Maps"... where are all other commands?

Thanks in advance!!
