Hello,

I am looking to automate the part numbering according to their position in an assembly. My idea is to compare the alignement between local and global origin (X and Y). Could you help me to find the code in scripting ?

If you have another idea you're welcome 

Thanks,

Hello GUICAD

I will need to consult with my team on this as I'm not an expert on scripting. I will get back to you as soon as I hear from them.

Hello GUICAD

Sorry for the delay in response. As it was the holiday season I found it difficult to get hold of some help.

You can use commands such as "GetCoordinateSystems()" to access the coordinates of the local coordinate system (wrt global origin) of a component. 

You can then create a loop to rename the components as per their coordinates as required.

Below is a sample script written by my colleague to print the coordinates. You can use it for your reference.

part =GetRootPart()
comps = part.GetAllComponents()[0]
print comps.GetName()
org = comps.GetCoordinateSystems()[0]
print org.Frame.Origin
x_coord = org.Frame.Origin[0]
y_coord = org.Frame.Origin[1]
z_coord = org.Frame.Origin[2]
print x_coord
print y_coord
print z_coord
