Extracting Dimensions and Tolerances

[Hacks]

Guru's



Is anyone aware of a way to extract all the dimensions and tolerances from a model or at least the dimensions and tolerances that are shown on a drawing?



It would seem to me that a Toolkit application would be required to do this, if it could be done.

Yes - a toolkit application is required to extract this kind of thing.



The p-Shell API can do this in no time. to get all the of the dimensions you just need to query them in each model.



foreach dimObj [ps_dim model] {

puts Dim: [$dimObj cget -symbol] - Value: [$dimObj cget -value]

}



A few more lines of code and you can determine if they are shown on a drawing and even send them directly to MS-Excel.
