[Plugin] Reports coordinates of a cpointDoes anyone know of a Ruby that would report the coordinates of a construction point when it is selected? Would be very helpful in DTM work. Thanks

It is shown thus [0, 123, 4567]. The numerical values reflect the 'precision' of the model's units settings - in the example above it's 0 - typical for 'mm' model. If it were a 'meter' model then the precision might be 3, giving [0.000, 0.123, 4.567]. To use it Select some Cpoints [other things selected will be ignored]. Type cpointtext in the Ruby Console to run it... It's other use is to draw a Cpoint at a given 3d-point, to do this type in the Ruby Console 'xyz' values or an actual point thus: cpointtex 1,2,3.4 or cpointtex(1,2,3.4) or cpointtext [1,2,3.4] or cpointtex([1,2,3.4]) or cpointtext point3d or cpointtext(point3d) or cpointtext vertex3d or cpointtext(vertex3d) Note the space between the cpointtext and the first argument OR the parentheses enclosing all arguments without a gap before the ( cpointtext(x,y,z) - this is the safer option. You call this method from within other commands. Units are in current units - i.e. inches, feet, mm, cm or m. It draw a cpoint at that point's location with associated text... ### Donations: Are welcome [by PayPal], please use 'TIGdonations.htm' in the ../Plugins/TIGtools/ folder or PM @TIG... ### Version: 1.0 20100409 First release. 1.1 20100411 If 3 arguments/array [x,y,z] draws cpoint+text, gsub! fixed. 1.2 20100412 Argument can also be a 'Point3d' or 'Vertex3d'. Now undoes. ### TIG

Re: [Plugin] Reports coordinates of a cpointVersion 1.1 now available viewtopic.php?p=238662#p238662
Fixed a glitch with gsub! sometimes not reporting location correctly, and it now has option to take 3 arguments or an array [x,y,z] to add a cpoint and text... TIG
Re: [Plugin] Reports coordinates of a cpointAh! Thank you so much.
If any of you are not using SkUp for DTM work, now you have no excuse! Michael Young

Re: [Plugin] Reports coordinates of a cpointwhats dtm.
Re: [Plugin] Reports coordinates of a cpointHere's another update v1.2 viewtopic.php?p=238662#p238662
It now lets you pass a Point3d OR a Vertex3d as an argument as well as in raw x,y,z values or an array [x,y,z]. Now has one step undo for plain cpoint texting... You can call it from other scripts so for example you could read a number of points an array of them, or say vertices from faces... TIG
