Traverse Feature Dimensions Example (VBA)

This example shows how to traverse all of the IDisplayDimension objects belonging to the feature, grab the underlying IDimension object, and query its value. It is assumed that you have a feature selected.

'------------------------------------------------------------------

Dim swApp As Object

Dim Part As Object

Dim Feature As Object

Dim theDimen As Object

Dim theDispDimen As Object

Sub main()

Set swApp = CreateObject ("SldWorks.Application")

Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc

Set Feature = Part.SelectionManager.GetSelectedObject5(1)

If (Feature is Nothing) Then

Exit Sub

End if

Set theDispDimen = Feature.GetFirstDisplayDimension

i = 0

While (Not theDispDimen Is Nothing)

i = i + 1

Set theDimen = theDispDimen.GetDimension

thevalue = theDimen.Value

swApp.SendMsgToUser "Dimension Value " + STR(i) + " = " + STR(thevalue)

Set theDispDimen = Feature.GetNextDisplayDimension (theDispDimen)
