    Hello,

     

    I have been searching for a macro to export the start and end point of a line coordinates to excel, but I can only find information on how to export 3D Points.

    Is it possible to program a macro that allows me to export the start and end point of various lines in a sketch?

    The objective of this is to connect an excel file which is updated when I create a line with it correspondent points, then i could not only import these x,y,z coordinates from excel to inventor but I whould be able to update my spreedsheet whenever I change my sketch.

     

    I hope I could make myself clear and sorry about my English.

     

    I look forward to hearing from you,

    Cláudio
