hi guys,
How do i get the dimension value that i need for some calculation in VB macro that i have already written.
I have a helical curve.
The circle for the helical curve is created using reference with a line previously created and I control the line.
So the circle diameter changes for different models.
To provide the pitch of the helical curve, I need the circle diameter.
Now how do I get this particular value.
I saw getsystemvalue3. (Gets the value of the current dimension in system units in the named configuration)
SolidworksApi macrosDim instance As IDimensionDim WhichConfigurations As IntegerDim Config_names As ObjectDim value As Objectvalue = instance.GetSystemValue3(WhichConfigurations, Config_names)
Can I use this or do i need something else.
If i need to use getsystemvalue3, how do i change this for my use.
Dim ????????? as idimension
dim ????????? as integer
dim ????????? as Object
Dim circledia as object
value=??????.GetSystemValue3(
?????????
,
?????????
)
Now where do I give the name of the dimension...
I think now i am atleast in a position to search for some code..thanks to deepak and wayne...
Cheers
Ashwin
