IDW Reference Dimensions

[Anonymous]

Do we have access to the reference dimensions placed on a view in the IDW
file?

I want to be able to hide the value of the dimensions and create a text
replacement for the dimension with different formatting.

I want to be able to create arch. dimensions with the "0" such as 0' - 11
1/2" or 3' - 0 1/2". The zero must be visible.

Can I do this with VBA in Inventor?

Unfortunately best I can tell Dimensions are one of the many things that aren't supported
in the API yet.

A really pain, but problem can be solved by exporting the IDW
file to DWG, and use AutoCAD to do the rest.

Obviously we need some ideas which makes more sense.

Just for your info, i have just developed an
application, which modifies a DWG drawing exported from and IDW.

Replaces views and dimensions, so it always fits
the same papersize.
