Export All Labware/Carrier Positions for Method

Is there a way in VENUS to export all the X, Y and Z coordinates for all the labware and carriers used in a specific method?

Thanks!

Check out this response from @AlvaroCuevas_Hamilton: Get labware names, files, xyz coordinates from deck layout file - #14 by AlvaroCuevas_Hamilton

Couple this library with the LabwareAccess library and you should be able to build a .smt to export all of the information from the deck that you want

I had developed a tool, which can be easily used to read the deck layout file (.lay) and save the data into a markdown format file.

The program is open-source under the MIT license. GitHub - VerisFlow/LayParser · GitHub
Currently, the program does not read Z coordinates, but I believe it is easy to include it.

ALso Hamilton have a way where u can convert the layfile in ASCII and it have all the details.and all information u r looking for
