Hi evrybody,

I'm trying to extract the Design Prpoperties of the location in Autocad Mep in the Structural Member. We are making a DB with all of supports in order to present  our model and in our DB we need to have the location.

I found where I can extract the lenght but I need absolutly  the start x, y, z  and the end x, y, z.

Could you please help me ?

Thanks a lot Evrybody,

Olivier

Hi,

Try to use the properties of objects with the formula.

for MEP 2015 ENG

RESULT="--"
On Error Resume Next
Set app = GetObject(,"AutoCAD.Application")
Set aec = app.GetInterfaceObject("AecX.AecBaseApplication.7.7")
aec.Init app
Set Mem = app.ActiveDocument.ObjectIDToObject([StructuralObjects:ObjectID])
pt = aec.ActiveDocument.Utility.ConvertToVariantArray(Mem.StartPoint)
RESULT = "X= " & pt(0) & " Y=" & pt(1) & " Z=" & pt(2)

Hi,

Before thanks for your answer.

Could you explain me how to enter a formula, I do not usualy use Autocad Mep .

My sofware version is 2014.

could you send me a internet site where I can find some information about the macro in AutoCad Mep.

Thanks you for your help

Hi,

To start with formulas - Brain Dump - Property Data Enhancements

and for advanced user ADT Schedule Feature Resources

Ac can put the formula in the Property Set Defenitions - 1,2

or Schedule Table directly - 3,4

Your version of AEC >>

Currently I'm working to extract several routing, I succeed with the piping to locate the start (x, y, z) and the end (x, y, z) but I've got a problem with the elbow. The coordinates are in connection detail avanced.

I want to get the locations for connector 1 and 2.

Could you plaese help me ?
