Export Point To CATIA

This document provides code to export points from a CATIA model into an Excel spreadsheet. It uses VBA macros to start Excel, create a new workbook, and add a worksheet. The CATIA model's points are then looped through and their name, x, y, and z coordinates are written to the Excel sheet. The macro searches the CATIA document for all points, gets the coordinate values of each, and writes them to the sheet in separate cells. This allows points from a CATIA model to be exported to Excel for further analysis or documentation.
