Hello Michael - that's excellent ! This is working perfectly, and saves quite a bit of time and error. Loving how the selection is automatically ready to go. Thank you so much, as always.
@FP : the export format discussed in this thread is simply .txt, formatted as what is called "CSV" (comma separated values). This is a very simple database format that is very useful for all kinds of applications. For instance online bank accounts can be downloaded as such and then manipulated with spreadsheet software, data processing/visualisation applications, and so on.
In the case of the SavePointFile from this thread the export is simply XX,YY,ZZ on each line like so :
And from there one can do all kinds of stuff with the data. In my case I am converting it to a series of segment lengths and angles fed it into a drawing robot. This allows me to speed up the drafting of full scale sewing patterns.

So again a huge thanks to Michael (and the person originally asking the question about exporting points to CSV) as the information and help in this thread was exactly what I needed. Being able to export the data directly from MOI is truly excellent. |
