Outputting the location of a set of points at once

[AD_10323607]

I am making a spline in a part based on a large collection of points I am creating from a file.  When I assemble this part into an assembly I want to know the location of these points relative to the assembly coordinate system.  Is there a way for me to measure the x,y,z distance from the assembly coordinate system to those points all at once instead of having to do hundreds of individual measure commands?  Creo Parametric 8.0.5.0

There is a quick workaround:

Import/Export

1) Create an IGES file containing only the point data of interest

      a) In the export dialogue ensure that only "Datum Curves and Points" is active

      b) Select a reference CSYS from your model used to generate the coordinates

      c) Save the IGES file

2) Modify this new IGES file extension by changing it from .igs to .pts file extension

3) Import this new .pts file into a new Creo model as follows

     a) Create a datum point feature using the offset csys option

     b) Select the reference Csys and import the .pts file from step 2, you will then see the table populated with the coordinate values

Thanks for the quick workaround.  I was a bit worried when I saw that the IGES export had a lot more in it than just the points but this worked well.  Thanks!
