Hi,

 

I have multiple hole edges in a Named selection group. How can I get edge center locations to variables in a script?

 

With this command:

Circle_i = Selection.Create(NamedSelection.GetGroup("BoltHeads").Members[0]).Evaluations

I get this result:

But how can I extract Circle Origin locations and direction from my Circle_i ?

Hi Erkki, 

Let me check this and get back to you.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Erkki, 

I was trying this and currently was able to write a script without using named selection. It uses perimeter range to filter out the circular edges and then measure the co-ordinates for the center of the holes. 

list=[]

all_bodies=GetRootPart().Bodies

for body in all_bodies:

    for i in body.Edges:

        ##I am using 0.0157-0.0158 range to filter out edges based on perimeter for the 5mm hole I have in my CAD

        ##Change it according to the hole diameter you have. 

        if i.Shape.Length >0.0157 and i.Shape.Length <0.0158: ##Units are in Meter for script so its 0.0157

            list.append(i)

            

    centre_cordinates=[]

    for i in list:

        centre=[]

        # Measure x

        selection = Selection.Create(GetRootPart().CoordinateSystems[0])

        secondarySelection = Selection.Create(i.GetChildren[ICurvePoint]()[0])

        gap = MeasureHelper.DistanceBetweenObjects(selection, secondarySelection)

        deltaX = gap.DeltaX

        # EndBlock

 

        # Measure y

        selection = Selection.Create(GetRootPart().CoordinateSystems[0])

        secondarySelection = Selection.Create(i.GetChildren[ICurvePoint]()[0])

        gap = MeasureHelper.DistanceBetweenObjects(selection, secondarySelection)

        deltaY = gap.DeltaY

        # EndBlock

 

        # Measure z

        selection = Selection.Create(GetRootPart().CoordinateSystems[0])

        secondarySelection = Selection.Create(i.GetChildren[ICurvePoint]()[0])

        gap = MeasureHelper.DistanceBetweenObjects(selection, secondarySelection)

        deltaZ = gap.DeltaZ

        # EndBlock

        centre.append(deltaX)

        centre.append(deltaY)

        centre.append(deltaZ)

        centre_cordinates.append(centre)

 

print(centre_cordinates)

 

I will further check this with named selection as input. You can also try to explore further. 

Thanks and Regards
