)
JavaScript 
GetBoundingBox(
) : {
   X1 : Number,
   Y1 : Number,
   Z1 : Number,
   X2 : Number,
   Y2 : Number,
   Z2 : Number
}
COM native C++ 
HRESULT GetBoundingBox( 
   DOUBLE* X1,
   DOUBLE* Y1,
   DOUBLE* Z1,
   DOUBLE* X2,
   DOUBLE* Y2,
   DOUBLE* Z2
) 
C++ 
DSRESULT GetBoundingBox(

   double* Z2
) 

Parameters

X1[out]
x coordinate of a corner of the bounding box
Y1[out]
y coordinate of a corner of the bounding box
Z1[out]
z coordinate of a corner of the bounding box
X2[out]
x coordinate of the opposite diagonal corner of the bounding box
Y2[out]
y coordinate of the opposite diagonal corner of the bounding box
Z2[out] or Return Value
z coordinate of the opposite diagonal corner of the bounding box

Example

This code snippet shows how to get the Sheets, their names, and the bounding box coordinates.

COM native C++

void CAddinDumpManager::DumpSheets( CStdioFile& fileOutput, LPCWSTR tabStr, IDocumentPtr dsDoc )
{
    CString strPrint;
    _variant_t pVariantArray = dsDoc->GetSheets();
    if( V_VT( &pVariantArray ) != VT_EMPTY )
    {
        ISheetPtr *sheets = NULL;
        int count = 0;
        TypeConverter::convertVariantArrayToPtrArray<ISheetPtr, ISheet>( pVariantArray, sheets, count );

        strPrint.Format( L"Sheets: (%d):\r\n", count );
        fileOutput.WriteString( strPrint );

        if( sheets && count > 0 )
        {
            //Iterate through Block instances
            for( int i = 0; i < count; ++i )
            {
                //Get Sheet name
                bstr_t SheetName= sheets[i]->GetName();

                strPrint.Format( L"Name: %s\r\n", SheetName.operator const wchar_t*() );
                fileOutput.WriteString( strPrint );
               
                //Get ISketchManager object
                ISketchManagerPtr dsSketchManagerSheet( sheets[i]->GetSketchManager() );
                if( dsSketchManagerSheet != NULL )
                {
                    //Get Sheet bounding box
                    double x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2;
                    dsSketchManagerSheet->GetBoundingBox( &x1, &y1, &z1, &x2, &y2, &z2 );

                    strPrint.Format( L"Bounding box: %.4f %.4f %.4f %.4f\r\n", x1, y1, x2, y2 );
                    fileOutput.WriteString( strPrint );
                }
                else
                    fileOutput.WriteString( L"ERROR GetSketchManager\r\n" );
            }
            delete[] sheets;
        }
    }
    else
        fileOutput.WriteString( L"ERROR GetSheets\r\n" );
}
