Export Points Geo Set To XYZ

Export Points — Geo Set To XYZ

File: Part_Document_Scripts/Export_Points_Select_Geo_Set_To_XYZ.py
Version: 1.1
Document Type: Part

---

Description

Exports all explicit (isolated/datum) points from a selected geometric set to an XYZ file in XYZIJK METRIC format. Coordinates are measured relative to the absolute axis system automatically — no axis selection is required. Point names from CATIA are preserved in the output file.

---

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Python	>= 3.10
pycatia	>= 0.8.3
wxPython	Not required
Open document	Part containing datum points

---

Usage

1. Open a CATPart document containing datum points
2. Run the script
3. Selection 1: Select the geometric set containing the points
4. The XYZ file is created in the current working directory

---

Output

A tab-delimited XYZ file named after the selected geometric set (e.g. MyGeoSet.xyz):

XYZIJK     METRIC
PT_001	10.234567	5.123456	0.000000
PT_002	20.456789	5.123456	0.000000

Notes

• Coordinates are always relative to the absolute axis — use Export Points Axis and Geo Set To XYZ if you need to measure relative to a custom axis
• Only HybridShapePointExplicit (datum/isolated) points are exported — parametric points are skipped
• Coordinates are rounded to 6 decimal places by default
