FCInfo problem with Datum Lines ?

Post by manos »

I am using FCInfo and I am trying to get info about a datum line but at the inclination panel is nothing except the direction vector.
What about the inclination of the line to the XY, YZ, ZX planes ? What about the points of intersection with planes?

I guess that it's just a limitation of the capabilities of this macro to work with datum objects. But I will ping its dev, maybe he will tell you more about that: @mario52.

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.
My macros on Gist.github here complete macros Wiki and forum.
