Get Chamfer Display Dimension Example (C#)
This example shows how to get chamfer display
dimension properties. This example also shows how to set and get lower display dimension text.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open public_documents\samples\tutorial\api\plate_tolstatus.sldprt.
// 2. Create a drawing from the part:
// a. File > Make Drawing from Part.
// b. Drag and drop the isometric view onto the sheet.
// 3. Create a chamfer display dimension.
// a. Select Tools > Dimensions > Chamfer.
// b. Select a chamfer edge.
// c. Select a leading edge.
// d. Click outside the part to place the display dimension.
// e. Modify display dimension text in the PropertyManager:
// 1. In Dimension Text, click before <DIM>.
// 2. Select the diameter symbol.
// 3. Click after <DIM>.
// 4. Select the +/- symbol.
// 5. Type 0.5.
// 6. On the Other tab, select Override Units.
// 7. Click the green check mark to accept the
// display dimension.
// 4. Open an Immediate Window.
// 5. Rename the namespace of this macro to match your C#
// project name.
// 6. Run the macro.
//
// Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate Window and the
// display dimension in the graphics area.
//
// NOTE: Because the part document is used elsewhere,
// do not save any changes when closing it.
