Hello!
Can you please tell me how to take the X Y coordinates of the vertex of each component in the space of the assembly drawing?
Transformation is a very difficult science to understand, and I just cannot find a simple example to study this subject.
The topic "How to take X Y coordinates of a vertex in drawing space" helped me with the drawing for the part.
https://forum.solidworks.com/message/1071056
To move on, I need to figure out what to do with the assembly drawing.
In my macro, the vertex coordinates of the components are the same. They are wrong. There is also no example how to use the Transform2 (IComponent2) property for drawing.
Please help me. Thank!
