Auto Dimension Scheme Example (C#)
This example shows how to create a DimXpert Auto Dimension Scheme, turn
tolerance status on and off,
and delete tolerances.
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open:
//<SolidWorks_install_dir>\samples\tutorial\dimxpert\bracket_auto_plusminus.sldprt
// 2. (Optional) Multi-select three faces to specify primary,
secondary,
//
and tertiary datum.
// 3. Modify the namespace of this macro to match your project name.
// 4. Open an Immediate Window in the IDE.
// 5. Ensure that the latest SolidWorks DimXpert interop assembly is
referenced:
// a. Right-click on the project in Project Explorer.
// b. Select Add Reference.
// c. Click the Browse tab.
// d. Find and select <SolidWorks_install_dir>\api\redist\CLR2\swdimxpert.dll.
// 6. Set two breakpoints:
// * swDXPart.ShowToleranceStatus = false;
// * retval = swDXPart.DeleteAllTolerances();
// 7. Click F5.
// 8. Observe on the DimXpertManager tab: Hole Pattern1, Hole
Pattern2, Fillet1,
//
Fillet Pattern1.
// Also observe that tolerance status is turned on in the
SolidWorks viewer.
// 9. Click F5.
// Observe that tolerance status is turned off.
//10. Compare the output in the Immediate Window with the features
displayed
//
on the DimXpertManager tab.
//11. Click F5.
// Observe that all tolerance annotations have been removed from
the part.
// Postconditions: none
// NOTE: Because this part is used in a SolidWorks online tutorial,
// do not save any changes when you close it.
