Get the index of a feature

[userdflr]

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!!

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!

The command you used does not obtain the XYZ coordinates of a point, it merely gets the point's location in the tree. You want this command:

TREEVIEW PRIMITIVE POINT PROPERTIES POINT GET (  )
