iLogic to change General Dimension Type to Projected

[Dylan_algar]

Hi All,

Currently writing some code that creates a detail view based off of a section view. When the section view isn't running parallel to drawing's horizontal axis then when the detail view is created, the general dimension type is set to true. (This only happens when detail view is created through iLogic for some reason? when created manually it works fine).

Since the general dimension type is set to true, then my code for setting up the dimensions doesn't work. Is there a function to change this General Drawing Type setting in iLogic?

Thanks in advance!

Is this what you mean?

Dim d As Inventor.DrawingView = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(inventor.SelectionFilterEnum.kDrawingViewFilter,"pick view")
d.GeneralDimensionType = Inventor.GeneralDimensionTypeEnum.kProjectedGeneralDimension  'Inventor.GeneralDimensionTypeEnum.kTrueGe
