You'll need to use either arrays or type objects.

Type Machine_Part
   Field name$
   Field entity
End Type


m.machine_part = new machine_part

m\name$ = "Gage1"
m\entity = createsphere() ; just for example

m\name$ = "Gage2"
m\entity = createsphere() ; just for example

m\name$ = "Part1"
m\entity = createsphere() ; just for example

m\name$ = "Part2"
m\entity = createsphere() ; just for example

Open "C:\Temp\capture.txt" for output as #1

For m.machine_part = Each machine_part

   Print #1,EntityX(m\entity)& "," & EntityY(m\entity) & "," & EntityZ(m\entity)

Next

That will loop through every entity you have created in that type and save them to the text file. Obviously not the correct syntax used, but you get my drift :o)
