Export xyz coordinates

[jgg]

I layout a 3 dim drawing of a yagi antenna using draft workbench - In order to model the antenna in NEC software, I need to specify the beginning and end of each wire element as xyz coordinates. I believe a python macro should be able to export the element coordinates to a text file or csv file. I have tried to do so but my ability with Python & Freecad in general is quite limited. Any help will be most appreciated!
Thanks - Joe

In the Addon manager there is also WireXYZ which imports, but can easily modified to export:

Pertinent parts of the changed code:

Code: Select all

obj = App.getDocument(docname).getObject("<<your object name here>>")
outfile = "<<your file name here>>"
file = open(outfile, "w")
for vct in obj.Points:
	print(*vct,sep=' ')
	X,Y,Z = vct
	file.write(' '.join([str(n) for n in vct]))
	file.write('\n')
file.close()
