PIST Points List

PIST Points List

On occasion, I get a PIST Points List from a customer for a part layout. Below is the process I use to measure those exact points.

1 Create cloud(s) of points (X, Y, and Z) from the customer list, splitting them up by areas needed for access to surfaces.

Drop the Cloud(s) to CAD to obtain the IJK values.

Start my program, and when I come to the step(s) to check the Clouds I created, I have to click on one of the Points from the Cloud(s) I created. This can be a pain to locate, and click on one of the exact Points, but I succeed.

Extract the raw data from my inspected Clouds, and Report the Points from the list.

This process, while allowing me to Report out my Points, seems “clunky” to me. What is the “better way” to perform this process?
