Export or Collect the Coordinates of Points on a Sketch

Hello,

I have few points on a sketch. I need to export the coordinates of these points in any format, csv, txt or collecting manually from a pop up message box. I need to have a automated script for this process because I will have a hundred of these points. Does anyone know how to do it?

    This should be quite straightforward with FeatureScript. Please share a sample document and describe better what you need. X,Y,Z coordinates? With respect to the origin? Etc.

    Think about the one below. For example, I will split a curve in ten equal(or specified) pieces along its length. So I need X,Y,Z coordinates with respect to the origin for all eleven vertices which will be created after the splitting. Is that clear?

    Do you want to report the x,y,z coords to the FeatureScript notices? Or to a custom table?

    Here's a quick (non-published) and rough example doc that extracts the coordinates at n divisions along a curve, and writes the x,y,z to a custom table. The table collates all the points from previous "Extract along curve" features... (incase why you were wondering why there are 139 points listed in the table!)




    There's an alternative version in the same doc that extracts the control points of the spline (or spline approximation) and writes the x,y,z to a custom table. The bridging curve shown below is G2/G2 hence the 6 control points as seen in the table.

    These are more than enough. Thank you so much!
