Hi,

I am looking for the command in scripting to find the distance between two origins (local in a component compared to the origin of the assembly). Is it possible ?

Thanks.

Hello GUICAD

Below is a simple script to get the distance of local coordinate system w.r.t global origin:

import math

part = GetRootPart()

#access local coordinate system
temp = part.CoordinateSystems[0]

#access origin of coordinate system
a = temp.Frame.Origin
print a

#note - the values of origin are returned in Meter units

#calculate distance from global origin
dist = math.sqrt((a[0]*a[0])+(a[1]*a[1])+(a[2]*a[2]))
print dist

Thanks Naresh !
