Extract Panel Cut Results - VBA Script with Robot API

[robert.rostron]

Hi,

I have created a VBA script which creates multiple panel cuts from coordinates in excel. I would like to be able to pull the panel cut results out of Robot but I haven't been successful to date. I'm led to understand it is possible as per link below:
(https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/ROBOT-is-it-possib...) 

Hi @Rafal.Gaweda re the above, could you please provide a simple example script showing how to extract, say,  the results from 3 panel cuts called "A-A1", "A-A2", and "A-A3"? I have seen variations of this question being asked a number of times over the past few years but there have not seen a definitive response to date. The panel cut tool is extremely useful but suffers from lack of tabular input/output requiring VBA/API knowledge to interact with it efficiently - it would be much appreciated if you can provide this (I suspect it might be useful to many people, not just me!).

hi @robert.rostron 

there doesn't seem to be any dedicated functions by the API giving tabulated values of panel cuts. it's an idea for the future. Panel cuts in panels in tablature form?

for the moment, as for edge results, you must get the main points of the cut through your mesh and organize the extraction of your results in the different cases and combinations.

Hi, @robert.rostron can you share your script to create multiple panel cuts through co-ordinates in VBA.
I need guidance, as I am also trying to do the same thing through VBA & Python.
