How to determine Delta X,Y,Z locations using a specified referance point????

[Anonymous]

Any one know?? For instance using the IV measure distance tool one can
determine the X,Y & Z as they relate to the origin of the part, but what if
you need to determine their locations from a non origin point? See the
problem in CF under "Change the "WCS" also related discussion in IV5.3
Newsgroup.

(This is assuming that I understand the problem correctly 🙂

There is a macro out there (I think Kent has a link on his site) named The
Ruler that can do this.

I pointed him to it earlier, I believe he said it didn't do what he wanted?? I am not
familiar enough with the program to be much help or to say yes it does or no it doesn't

Didn't see the other thread but it does measure deltas from any point to any
other point.

OK I read the other thread. The Rule Macro gives a delta in Inventor's XYZ
coordinates. I think he needs to know the deltas in the part's coordinate
system. If that's true, you can find the deltas in the world UCS and then
do a coordinate transformation (break out the Vector Calculus book) and find
the deltas in the part coordinate system.
