Is there a function in the object library that you can use in a script
that can "find the nearest cad element" for vector points? (for example)
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
I did a quick test, and it looks like the option "Change manager -> CAD" (part of PC-DMIS Planner?) also does the trick (and works for all kinds of features). I layed out a number of points "in the air" above a curved surface, then started the Change Manager and set a quite large tolerance for locating differences between CAD and program (too small tolerance and everything goes into the "possibly delete?" list), selected all found points and did an Update - Bingo! Most of them were now on the surface (I don't really understand why not all of them)!
