Hello everybody,
please can you help me how to get by Pro/Toolkit font name of a drawing dimension? And how to set it? I can do it manually, but I can't find any appropriate Pro/Toolikit function.
It will take you some digging to get the proper handle to call this function but I think you can do it with ProDtlnotetextFontGet. I am pretty sure that dimensions shown on drawings are detail entities but you have to get down to a ProDtlnotetext object to do it. Good luck!
Hello williaps, thank you for your reply, but I am to able to find how to do it. I cannot find any function or sequence of functions for getting ProDtlnotetext from ProDimension. And when I try to overcast ProDimension to ProNote and call ProDtlnoteDataGet a recieve the PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS error.
I'm not so sure you can get/set the text style of dimensions unless you're using Wildfire 3. In WF2 there are a couple of functions to get the dimension text ProDimensionTextGet and ProDimensionSymtextGet but they return ProLine arrays. I don't see how you can map those to notes because they're essentially just wchar_t arrays. Maybe there's another indirect way - I would call PTC if I were you.
In Wildfire 3 they've got a couple of new functions: ProDimensionTextstyleSet and ProDimensionTextstyleGet. I haven't tried them out but that makes me think that it probably couldn't be done previous to WF3. They require the Pro/TOOLKIT for 3D Drawings license so maybe they're just for the model dims, not drawing. Like I said before - you're better off contacting PTC and asking them at this point.
I got response from PTC quite fast, but they say it is not possible
In Wildfire 3 ProDimensionTextstyleGet can really read information such as thickness, undlerline, slant etc. but I don't see any function for extracting font's name.
Hi.
Does anybody know how to collect all the dimensions in
drawing/view and how to assign a handle to it?Is it
possible with ProDrawingDtlEntitiesCollect()?
Hi.Thanks for the reply.
I tried using -
ProDrawingDimensionVisit(drawing,PRO_DIMENSION,
(ProDimensionVisitAction)VisitDimension,NULL,
(ProAppData)&p_data)
But here,stuckup with what data has to be passed in &p_data
to the action function? Edited by: hijacker
