Pretty slick. I haven't done much with looping in PC-DMIS but I'll give it a shot. What about the name of the point? It looks like it will create 25 points with the same PT1 name.
JEFMAN or anyone, I used file IO to write all the looped points to a text file with XYZIJK info. I then used another program to read the text file that creates all the individual vector points and it works as intended. How would you take those looped points and use them to re construct the sphere?
