I'd like to create a macro or program to automate opening IFC files and saving them as STEP files, but it seems the IFC format doesn't have the same API support that most or all of the other supported formats have.

Hi there, as the title says, I try to get (via API) the local position and rotation values of all parts in an assembly that get moved in a MotionStudy.

I really hope that someone has already managed to do this.
