Auto-Dimensionning Drawing extents

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible (and simple) to create some sort of function that creates 2 dimensions of a part extent (X, Y) drawn. The part can be of any shape or size. This is for our laser drawings. So far, I've made a smal vb.net .exe that extract the flat pattern from our Inventor Part and creates a .dwg with it. I was able to add some text under the drawing but the only thing needed for my program to be complete is to be able to add those 2 dimensions.

Thanks
