Parameter

The Name argument for this method does not have to be the "full" dimension name. For example, you only need to pass "D1" not "D1@Base-Revolve". The full dimension name is required if you call IModelDoc2::Parameter.

SolidWorks recognizes some characters as special characters. The use of these characters in part or feature names can cause this method to fail and not return a dimension. These special characters are not recognized in names of parts or features:

• at sign ( @ )

• period ( . )

• backslash ( / )
