iLogic code

[Aftershock13]

Is there a way to use iLogic to select all dimensions? I would like to select all dimensions and change the font size. Any help would be appreciated.

Shock,

Welcome to the forums. You must be referring to iLogic in an idw. If so, I don't think you would select all dimensions, I think you would try to use iLogic to edit the dimension style. While I'm certain that it is possible, you would likely have to include some VBA code in the ilogic rule as well. If I have a moment, I may try my hand at this. Right now I can't really test it. But going into the task, my approach would be to access the dimension style and edit it's properties through iLogic.

Hope this helps.

Hi Aftershock13,

I think wimann is spot on with his suggestion. Here is a quick iLogic rule that will set the font size for the active dimension style.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

'set active document as drawing document
Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oDStyle As DimensionStyle
oDStyle = oDoc.StylesManager.ActiveStandardStyle. _
ActiveObjectDefaults.LinearDimensionStyle

'get current font size
Dim sFontSize as String
sFontSize = oDStyle.TextStyle.FontSize

'get user input
oInput = InputBox("Active Dimesnion Style = " &  oDStyle.Name _
& vblf & vblf &  "Enter a new font size in inches." , "iLogic", _
Round(sFontSize / 2.54,3))

'set font size for dim style
oDStyle.TextStyle.FontSize = oInput * 2.54

Curtis / Wimann,

That is exactly what I was looking for. It couldn't work any better. I am very appreciative for your help.
