If you're using Inventor 2008 (or later) version, you should be able to use
Plane.IntersectWithLine method to compute the intersection point between a
Plane a Line, or use Line.IntersectWithSurface method to compute the
intersection points between a Line and a surface object. Below is a simple
example for Line and Plane intersection case.
Sub CreateWorkPoint()
Dim oDoc As PartDocument
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Add(kPartDocumentObject,
ThisApplication.FileManager.GetTemplateFile(kPartDocumentObject), True)
Dim oComp As PartComponentDefinition
Set oComp = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
Dim oTG As TransientGeometry
Set oTG = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry
Dim oLine As Line
Set oLine = oTG.CreateLine(oTG.CreatePoint(1, 0, 0), oTG.CreateVector(1,
1, 1))
Dim oPlane As WorkPlane
Set oPlane = oComp.WorkPlanes("XY Plane")
Dim oPoint As Point
Set oPoint = oPlane.Plane.IntersectWithLine(oLine)
End Sub

Hello all,
I have a Line3D crossing a WorkPlane. How can I find the intersecting Point
(just X, Y and Z-coordinate) of this 2 elements. I could put a WorkPoint
(AddByCurveAndEntity) and therefrom checking the Point - works fine, but I
don't want to create any elements. To get a few thousand Points this way it
would violate the performaace too much.
Any idea ?
Best, Paul
