Is there an efficient way to export xyz coordinates from a part (or sketch) to a text file? I need the xy points at discreet z coordinates for an in house grid generator so that I can do a cfd analysis on the part. Any suggestions or solutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Have you considered the STL format?

No, I haven't. I will check into that. Thanks
I looked at STL format, but I don't think it is really going to give me what I want. What I would like is the same number of x,y points at different z locations of the part. The more I look at this, the more I think that getting this right of the bat is near impossible.
