extraction type of feature

Darius11
Hello, I do need extract types of features used for 2d/3d dimensions. As per program example below:

{DIM DIST8B= 3D DISTANCE FROM PLANE PLN1 TO CYLINDER CYL4,SHORTEST=OFF,NO_RADIUS UNITS=MM,$
GRAPH=OFF TEXT=OFF MULT=10.00 OUTPUT=BOTH
AX NOMINAL +TOL -TOL MEAS MAX MIN DEV OUTTOL
M 1.433*1 0.55*1 0.2*1 1.433 1.433 1.433 0.000 0.000 --#-------
FCFPROF3 =SURFACE PROFILE : PLN1}

Here is distance between PLANE and CYLINDER. Any ideas how to extract types of features?

P.S. I do have code which working without type of features, problem is that execution of script doing a lot of scan and it taking far too long. My goal is to execute code only if code is relevant with type of feature.

  • Personally I have done it by looping through the program and build up a table containing references to all features in the program. When I need data for a feature I just look it up in the table and call the command.type function. It will give you an integer, there is a list in the documentation regarding that. You should be aware that the type is usually rather specific, there are for instance a bunch of different cylinder feature types. (Including constructed features. Which may have different internal representations, watch out if extracting data from cylinders, hits are fine though in my experience.)

    Problem with TYPE of feature I did solve by using first 3 letters of feature ID. It do work good enough, just need to ensure that default feature ID will stay the same. TYPE I needed to ensure that will be executed only part of code related with certain type of feature.

    Problem with time of execution I did solve by exporting data of features to table in excel (looping) and then looping trough basic dimensions and searching for data in table by REF_ID. Seems like I'am done in similar way as you did.
