How to get a midplane?

Hello,
what's the best command to get a midplane (plane between two planes)?
I've tried with the SymmetryPlane and also the SYMPLA commands but with no luck. It does return a element with values!

Thanks in advance for the help!

OK. What exactly is an "element with values"?

maybe a screenshot of the element data would be interesting.

Hi ,

first a correction - "It does not return a element with values"

View images.

Here is the code:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~NOM_ELE=PLAN_A_SYM
CRSUBTYP (NAM=~NOM_ELE, LIN=3, DEL=Y, TYP=ELE, STY=EVA)
PUTVALS (OBJ=~NOM_ELE.EVA(1), TYP=ELE, CDS=(S,Z), STR=(FORM,SD))
PUTVALS (OBJ=~NOM_ELE.EVA(2), TYP=ELE, CDS=(S,Z), STR=(PTS,SD))
PUTVALS (OBJ=~NOM_ELE.EVA(3), TYP=ELE, CDS=(S,Z), STR=(Z,SD))
SymmetryPlane (RES=~NOM_ELE, PL1=PLAN_A_ZP, PL2=PLAN_A_ZM, CSY=REF_A, USD=Y)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK. The evaluation is correct as there are no APts in a symmetry plane - it is a calculated & not a measured feature. It has no form. What are you expectations on the APts? Where should they come from?

what i'm trying to get is the location (true position) of this midplane.

ISO1101 true position?

Then you need the command SYMTRY or POSITNxx with TYP=PLA.
