 How to install installation of catia V5 macros
e3axis
creates axis of holes defined by curves or edges of surfaces and solids or center points

                Do you have a lot of holes and need axis? Here is the macro. You can  select  any
                curve, edge or  point. The macro creates the center point and three perpendicular
                lines. Then you can select another elements to create next axis  until  is  macro
                execution interrupted. If created axis is selected you can  modify  axis  length,
                rotate axis or delete axis
                
                - use and store last used length of created axis
                - axis length modification, rotation and deletion
                - multiple axis creation in one macro start
                
                                   
                                   An example. The plate with holes.
                                   Start the macro and select an edge of the hole.
                                   
                
                                   Here are axis created. Now you can select another holes to create next axis 
                                   or modify the length of axis, axis direction or delete created axis.
                                   
                
                                   Select any element of created axis. The macro shows modification form.
                                   Change the length. The macro stores current length to the e3axis.ini file.
                                   
                
                                   Select any element of created axis again. 
                                   Click on rotate button and select some edge to change the direction of axis.
                                   
                
                                   Here is the modified axis. Now you can continue to create next axis.
                                   
                
                                   This is the result.
                                   
                
                                   The macro uses 3 files:
                                   e3axis.catvbs ... main file
                                   e3axis.exe ...... form file
                                   e3axis.ini ...... here is stored last used length of axis
                
                                   
                                   
                
                                   Edit 3rd line of e3axis.catvbs to set your current path to the form file.
