spreadheet usage

[TheNo1Odor]

What parameters can be obtained with the spreadsheet?
So far I found out the following:

• xyz.Shape.Area
• xyz.Shape.Volume
• xyz.Shape.Length
• xyz.Label

where xyz is the name of the object.

You can use any properties of an object that is either a double (floating point) value, quantity value, or a string (you can find these in the object's data properties tab). E.g to query for position, you can use xyz.Placement.Base.x, or to query a pad's length, you can use xyz.Length.

Thank you.

But how is the angle of an object stored and accessed? Against the x, y and z axes?

Rotation can be accessed as

xyz.Placement.Rotation.Axis.Angle/x/y/z

There is currently no way to access the euler angles in the object placement from the spreadsheet (you can compute them, but that is tedious).

But sometimes could be useful. It will be hard to program such code?

I might consider adding it for 0.16, if my expression branch gets merged.

The main problem is that Euler angles are not Euler angles. There exist a lot of notations and one has to exactly know which notation is used.

Not if but when. AFAIK you still want to finish some work first before it's ready for merge?

Yes, almost there, but it's not done before it's done!
