      <description>&lt;P&gt;If I run this iLogic program it aligns them incorrectly.

      <description>&lt;P&gt;If only one such dimension is used, the rule works well. But if the second occurs, everything breaks down &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@795596742BBE9063EFA1B55C0747436D/emoticons/1f615.png" alt=":confused_face:" title=":confused_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

Next&lt;/LI-CODE&gt;&lt;P&gt;The ChainDimensionSet object has its own Arrange method.&amp;nbsp; When calling this method, it wants you to specify a base (LinearGeneralDimension) as input, so it can use that dimension as the basis to arrange all the other 'Members' of the set.&amp;nbsp; In my example code, I'm simply specifying the first 'Member' of the set as the input general dimension to base the Arrange method on.&amp;nbsp; &lt;A href="https://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2021/ENU/?guid=GUID-131ACE2F-F4D1-4352-988F-441626BD0EF5" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Here's the link&lt;/A&gt; to the Help page for this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If this solved your problem, or answered your question, please click &lt;SPAN style="background-color: green; color: white;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;ACCEPT SOLUTION&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;BR /&gt;Or, if this helped you, please click 'LIKE' &lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@7401B55A0A518861312A0F851CD29320/emoticons/1f44d.png" alt=":thumbs_up:" title=":thumbs_up:" /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you have time, please...

      <description>&lt;P&gt;That last code would have only worked on real ChainDimensionSets that were created as chain dimension sets when created.&amp;nbsp; Here is an iLogic rule that attempts to combine all the different types of dimension types and all their different methods for arranging them.&amp;nbsp; This should catch pretty much any type of dimension you created on your drawing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Try this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="general"&gt;If ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentType &amp;lt;&amp;gt; DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject Then

      <description>&lt;P&gt;That last code I posted worked just fine for me, so I'm not sure why it's not working just as good for you.&amp;nbsp; I created a screen cast video of me dimensioning one side of a part using regular General dimensions, then dimensioning another side of it using Baseline dimensions, and another side using Chain dimensions.&amp;nbsp; Then I move the text and positioning of all these dimensions around to create a little chaos for the rule to deal with.&amp;nbsp; Then I show you the contents of the iLogic rule before I run it.&amp;nbsp; Then I run the rule, to show you how it acts on my computer.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The video is attached:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And here is the &lt;A href="https://autode.sk/3l1SlPZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;link to the ScreenCast&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

If a second occurs on the same side, everything is damaged. If the Chain dimensions are grouped, it only centers the text, but the dimension line does not stand in the style.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Since&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5330176"&gt;@JhoelForshav&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; not join the discussion, I try to speculate that it is not possible to do so&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I see what you mean now.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; That scenario of having multiple chain dimension sets on the same side and using the usual iLogic arrange methods definitely leads to unfortunate and unwanted results.&amp;nbsp; Seems this is one of those things that maybe Autodesk needs to look into further, and possibly offer an update for sometime in the future.&amp;nbsp; Though it would likely be pretty low on their priorities, since there may not really be that many folks out there attempting to achieve this exact scenario.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; An iLogic solution for this scenario would likely have to go into much more detail than those standard Arrange functions offer, if it is possible at all.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Well, most of the designer's work is taken away by dimensioning and handling. The basics of how beautifully working the SW arrange feature started to envy their users. So I tried to get help here so that maybe with iLogic it could be solved and speed up the work while waiting and expecting Autodesk to do it in its program automatically.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/537534"&gt;@MjDeck&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; is there any way to do this now? And is there any hope that the Inventor team will do that in the future?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;It would probably be best to do an extra command "arrange all" right in the program. The current one should remain as an option. But it has to work right.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Arrange.jpg" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/840803i69F4A77DB050D877/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="Arrange.jpg" alt="Arrange.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Until such is the case, I was hoping to solve this with the help of iLogic. And if that succeeds, offer Autodesk a ready-made solution. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I was interested in&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5330176"&gt;@JhoelForshav&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt; &lt;SPAN&gt;decision &lt;A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-customization/dimension-centering-arrows-inside-skip-small-dimension/td-p/9842479" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;SOLUTION. &lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;When it resolves dimension centering when text does not fit between dimension lines.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Arrange 2.jpg" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/840804i0E230607AEBD977B/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="Arrange 2.jpg" alt="Arrange 2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;So I’m looking for any quick way to properly arrange the dimensions. This will be very relevant in the new version of 2022 as well, as the annotations in the tarpaulins will run out and have to be handled.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
