Get ABS coordinates in Product using get_points_on_axis()

[nlhanlha]

There's any method to get abs coordinates in product with using get_points_on_axis()?

When I use get_points_on_axis() in product, I can get coordinate about part or child product

i'm trying to solve this problem with many ways, like get_components, np.dot

but if I work on complex product, It isnt easy to handle

Do you have any method to solve it?

Thank you

caa = catia()
caa.active_document.selection.clear()
document = caa.active_document
spa_workbench = document.spa_workbench()
product = Product(document.product.com_object)

caa.message_box("Select Surface,  you want create the axis", title = "Title")

selection = document.selection
object_filter = ("PlanarFace","Plane","Face")
status = selection.select_element2(object_filter,"Select Surface,  you want create the axis" , False )

if status == "Normal":

    selected_element = selection.item(1)
    value = selected_element.value
    reference = selected_element.reference

    measurable = spa_workbench.get_measurable(reference)

    points = measurable.get_points_on_axis()

    center_xyz = (points[0],points[1],points[2])
    start_xyz = (points[3],points[4],points[5])
    end_xyz = (points[6],points[7],points[8])

else:

    caa.message_box("Please Select/Create GAE Point part before proceding")

I'm not sure what it is you're exactly trying to measure but I think it's the position of the Part in a Product? If so, this should be what you're looking for:

from pycatia import catia
from pycatia.in_interfaces.reference import Reference
from pycatia.product_structure_interfaces.product import Product
from pycatia.product_structure_interfaces.product_document import ProductDocument

caa = catia()
caa.active_document.selection.clear()
product_document = ProductDocument(caa.active_document.com_object)
spa_workbench = product_document.spa_workbench()
product = product_document.product

caa.message_box("Select Surface, you want create the axis", title="Title")

selection = product_document.selection
object_filter = ("Product",)
status = selection.select_element2(object_filter, "Select Surface,  you want create the axis", False)

if status == "Normal":

    selected_element = selection.item(1)
    value = selected_element.value
    product = Product(value.com_object)
    print(product.position.get_components())

else:

    caa.message_box("Please Select/Create GAE Point part before proceeding")

Thank you for your comment.

Well, I'm trying to measure an axis, center of selected surface, in product.

First, If i select a surface in product, i can get an information about points on center axis of surface with using measurable.get_points_on_axis()

However, these points' coords are dependent on child product or part.

So I can't use these coords in whole product workspace(document?).

I tried to move the coordinates of the points using the components of the product which the points are dependent (using product.position.get_components() and numpy)

But, it also has a problem.

If a point is dependent on the product over several steps, it can not use in this case.

So, I want to know if there any method to get information about points' absolute coordinates on center axis of surface in product

thank you.

I'm still a bit confused at to what it is you're asking due to the terminology / language barrier I suspect.

but if I work on complex product, It isnt easy to handle

What do you have that works in a simple product and not a complex product?

What do you mean by complex product?

Well, I'm trying to measure an axis, center of selected surface, in product.

I genuinely don't understand what this means. Do you want the center of the selected surface (center of gravity) using the parent product co-ordinate system?

Let's try and tackle this first. The rest of the information is just adding to my confusion.

hmm.. sorry for my misunderstanding

Until yesterday, I've been mistaken about "get_component" function

there's no problem with any code thank you.

I'm closing the issue as it seems to be resolved.
