How do I retrieve/access the tabular (x,y) values in the holeTable ?

I am trying to get the the centers (x,y) of holes in the holetable
created
in a Sldworks drawing. The holetable is easily created in version
2004 and the (x,y) values of all holes are tabulated in the holetable.
But how do I get these (x,y) values in VB ? Which properties/methods
of holetable object should be used to extract these center values ?
Anybody has any sample VB codes ?
Thanks in advance.

 

Good question... I didn't find a simple way... looks like you should extract
the Annotations and obtain the values from the Text ...
We consider making a 2004 version of our TableWizard add-in (which does hole
charts since SW99...) that will let you export tables under various formats,
if that's what you're trying to do...

 

there is a TableAnnotation::SaveAsText function that might be useful...
It took me some time to find the equivalent function in the GUI.
Actually, you CAN export tables by right-clicking on them, select "Save as
template" and then specify a ".txt" or ".csv" file extension...

 

You can do it the old-fashioned way of getting the edges from the face, then
the curve from the edge. Test the curve for being a circle, and if it is,
get the CircleParams off it. I wrote a hole chart program (before SW2004
appeared on the scene), and I'd be willing to send it and the source code to
anyone who's interested. You can email me at .
