In Mechanical, I created a coordinate system (csysLocal) to create construction paths.  Is there a way to take End1 of a path (which is based on csysLocal) and determine what those coordinates are based on the global coordinates?  I am looking to do this via a script as this will need to be automated.

Have you defined a local coordinate system on a path definition?

Or on a linearized result?

Are you just trying to get one point (first point) in the global coordinates, or all the locations along the path in a result?

If you export the data from a result scoped to a path, the XYZ will be in global coordinates. This export command could be done by script.
