Sorting points from a scan and extracting XYZ of a point

Hello,

try this, it seems to work for me

ASSIGN/V1=MAXINDEX(SCN1.HIT[1..400].X)

F1 =GENERIC/POINT,DEPENDENT,CARTESIAN,$
NOM/XYZ,<0,0,0>,$
MEAS/XYZ,<SCN1.HIT[V1].X,SCN1.HIT[V1].Y,SCN1.HIT[V1].Z>,$
NOM/IJK,<0,0,1>,$
MEAS/IJK,<0,0,1>

Here is how applied your syntax. What am I missing gives me values of zero.

SCN1 =FEAT/SCAN,LINEAROPEN,NUMBER OF HITS=326,SHOW HITS=NO,SHOWALLPARAMS=NO
MEAS/SCAN
BASICSCAN/LINE,NUMBER OF HITS=326,SHOW HITS=NO,SHOWALLPARAMS=NO

Instead of using a generic point, this works as well. In the reported feature be sure to include .hit[variable]

This also worked for me.

Maybe your hit count being 326 in the scan, and  your assignment being to 400 is causing the issue. You can change it to MAXINDEX(SCN1.HIT[1..SCN1.NUMHITS]) so that no matter how many hits it ends up being it includes them all. Whether it be 100 hits or 1000 hits.
