Thanks Brian!

Here is a script Michael wrote awhile back that gets things on the clipboard.... Maybe someone wants to modify it to output with an html label or something....

 code:
 code:// Gather up a list of the x,y,z coordinates of point objects and endpoints of
// curves and copy the list as text to the clipboard.

var str = '';

function AddNumber( num )
{
	// Use 6 decimal places.
	str = str + num.toFixed(6);
}

function AddCoordinate( pt )
{
	AddNumber( pt.x, str );
	str = str + ",";
	AddNumber( pt.y, str );
	str = str + ",";
	AddNumber( pt.z, str );
	str = str + "\r\n";
}

var pts = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects().getPoints();
for ( var i = 0; i < pts.length; ++i )
{
	var ptobj = pts.item(i);
	AddCoordinate( ptobj.pt );
}

var crvs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects().getCurves();
for ( var i = 0; i < crvs.length; ++i )
{
	var crv = crvs.item(i);
	AddCoordinate( crv.getStartPt() );
	AddCoordinate( crv.getEndPt() );
}

moi.copyTextToClipboard( str );

No more developpment ? :)

Here is an update for PointCoordinates script.

It was necessary to search for Snap documentation. The .js has two links to forum posts which proved helpful.

The state of the ObjectSnap button, and the button's SnapPt checkbox are saved, then they are both turned on or left on.
After one point is selected, they are both restored to their initial state.
(If the Cancel button is pushed before selecting the point, both are left active, which may not be their initial state, and the script terminates.)

After selecting a point, the script displays an alert of the x, y, z coordinates, hard coded to 6 decimal points.

Selecting in 3D view should help avoid confusion of points on top of each other in the other views.

Added in part of Michael's code for placing the coordinates in the clipboard.
Max's z88 program uses the clipboard.
Added parseFloat to remove trailing decimal zero's.

This script only does one point, which suits my current project for pasting to excel, but
perhaps the ability to add multiple points should be added.

Thanks, its very useful !
