    <description>&lt;P&gt;Has anyone ever tried to write a script to copy dimensions between views?&amp;nbsp; I don't think it is an easy task to do, but it would be a nice function for things like our story pole parts, which are just a sketch tied to adaptive planes.&amp;nbsp; In the drawing template I have the main room story pole view pre-dimensioned, but any added story poles for windows and doors have to be manually dimensioned.&amp;nbsp; Picture for context:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="temp_pic.JPG" style="width: 297px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/734523i7497216969C063E2/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="temp_pic.JPG" alt="temp_pic.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The window and door story poles were made from a copy of the main room story pole with 2 additional sketch lines/planes for the doors and 4 for the windows.&amp;nbsp; It would be nice to be able to copy the main room dimensions to the other two views, preferably with text but I already have a separate script to automate adding the text to dimensions if it can't be included.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would imagine I would have to store all the information needed to add a dimension [probably limited to LinearGeneralDimensions: ( TextOrigin As Point2d, IntentOne As GeometryIntent, [IntentTwo] As Variant, [DimensionType] As DimensionTypeEnum)] and then find corresponding intent objects in the other view to add new dimensions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Has anyone managed to write something like this or found that it is just not possible?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I know it seems a little trivial for this example because it doesn't take much time to manually add the dimensions, but if the concept works here I think I could get it to work for some of our other standardized parts that appear in multiple views throughout the drawing set and have to be dimensioned each time.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
