  Could we get the vertex coordinate in X/Y/Z direction by command in Discovery AIM?

  for example, we know the name of vertex like "VERTEX3", how to get the coordinate by command? Thanks!

  Hello Frank
  
  Could you please share some more details about your requirement? WHere are you trying to use this coordinate information?

    Naresh Patre I want to calculate the direction between two vertexes based on the coordinate. then I can set the spring stiffness available on this direction by command.

  Hi Frank
  
  Apologies for the delay in getting back to you as I was on vacation for last 10 days. I got following response from one of the experts:
  If the user has the vertexes selected they should be able to use the .Location command I think to get this information and then use this to create the spring. My suggestion would be to create a local coordinate system using the two points as reference geometry and then just use that coordinate system for their joint/spring. This is something that should be recorded by the journaling functionality and then reused in a script.
