EXPORTING XYZ POINTS COORDINATES INTO EXCEL

  • Follow


I have this macro that for some reason is not working properly. It
should open a excel file and extract xyz points coordibnates from sw
parts. Could you please run it and tell me what is wrong?
Thank you!!!!!
Sub main()
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim doc As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim part As SldWorks.PartDoc
Dim sm As SldWorks.SelectionMgr
Dim feat As SldWorks.Feature
Dim sketch As SldWorks.sketch
Dim v As Variant
Dim i As Long
Dim sseg As SldWorks.SketchSegment
Dim sline As SldWorks.SketchLine
Dim sp As SldWorks.SketchPoint
Dim ep As SldWorks.SketchPoint
Dim s As String
Dim exApp As Excel.Application
Dim sheet As Excel.Worksheet



 'Set exApp = New Excel.Application
 Set exApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
 If Not exApp Is Nothing Then
  exApp.Visible = True
  If Not exApp Is Nothing Then
   exApp.Workbooks.Add
   Set sheet = exApp.ActiveSheet
   If Not sheet Is Nothing Then
    sheet.Cells(1, 2).Value = "X"
    sheet.Cells(1, 3).Value = "Y"
    sheet.Cells(1, 4).Value = "Z"
   End If
  End If
 End If


 Set swApp = GetObject(, "sldworks.application")
 If Not swApp Is Nothing Then
  Set doc = swApp.ActiveDoc
  If Not doc Is Nothing Then
   If doc.GetType = swDocPART Then
    Set part = doc
    Set sm = doc.SelectionManager
    If Not part Is Nothing And Not sm Is Nothing Then
     If sm.GetSelectedObjectType2(1) = swSelSKETCHES Then
      Set feat = sm.GetSelectedObject4(1)
      Set sketch = feat.GetSpecificFeature
      If Not sketch Is Nothing Then
       v = sketch.GetSketchPoints
       For i = LBound(v) To UBound(v)
        Set sp = v(i)
        If Not sp Is Nothing And Not sheet Is Nothing And Not exApp Is
Nothing Then
         'sheet.Cells(2 + i, 1).Value = "Normal Vector " & i + 1
         sheet.Cells(2 + i, 2).Value = (sp.X * 1000) / 25.4
         sheet.Cells(2 + i, 3).Value = (sp.Y * 1000) / 25.4
         sheet.Cells(2 + i, 4).Value = (sp.Z * 1000) / 25.4
         exApp.Columns.AutoFit
        End If
       Next i
      End If
     End If
    End If
   End If
  End If
 End If
End Sub

Why don't you just write out solidworks data as a comma delimited text
file and import it into excel?  Seems like it would be a lot easier.
Multiapp programming can be flaky.

How do you export txt files from SW? I can export IGES and open it in
Rhino.... was not able to create txt in SW though, thank you for the
advice!!

Regarding the xyz-macro, it is working!

Good news that it is working.  You can use the filesystemobject to
create a text file and then write out to it with simple file.writeln
calls.  Do a search for filesystemobject and microsoft has some good
examples.  But I guess it is unnecessary now that you have your macro
working.  Feels good to make something work =D.
