Parameters

Name

Name of parameter (for example, "D1")

Return Value

Dimension

Remarks

Most parameters are dimensions.

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::IParameter.

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 ( / )
