How to get dimension related objects?

Solution

User can get dimension related object by GetRelated() method. For example,

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports SolidEdgeConstants




Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim objApplication As SolidEdgeFramework.Application = Nothing
        Dim objDraftDocument As SolidEdgeDraft.DraftDocument = Nothing
        Dim objSheet As SolidEdgeDraft.Sheet = Nothing
        Dim objDimensions As SolidEdgeFrameworkSupport.Dimensions = Nothing
        Dim dimension As SolidEdgeFrameworkSupport.Dimension = Nothing
        Dim line2d As SolidEdgeFrameworkSupport.Line2d = Nothing
        Dim lines2d As SolidEdgeFrameworkSupport.Lines2d = Nothing 


        Try


            objApplication = Marshal.GetActiveObject("SolidEdge.Application")
            objDraftDocument = objApplication.ActiveDocument
            objSheet = objDraftDocument.ActiveSheet
            objDimensions = objSheet.Dimensions
 
            MsgBox("Total dimensions in drawing file are = " + objDimensions.Count.ToString())
            Dim objCircle As Object = Nothing, my_kp As Boolean
            Dim my_x As Double, my_y As Double, my_z As Double, i As Long
            For i = 0 To objDimensions.Count - 1
                dimension = objDimensions(i)
                dimension.GetRelated(Index:=i, GraphicObject:=objCircle, x:=my_x, y:=my_y, z:=my_z, keyPoint:=my_kp)


                MsgBox("X coordinate = " & my_x.ToString() & vbNewLine + "Y coordinate = " & my_y.ToString() & vbNewLine + "Z coordinate = " & my_z.ToString() & vbNewLine)


            Next i


        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
        Finally
            Console.WriteLine("GTAC")
        End Try


    End Sub
End Module
