Automatically Generate Dimensions in VBA

Anonymous — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:27:11 GMT

Is it possible in VBA to automatically generate dimensions on a particular view?

Some told me that retrieve dimensions tool will be applicable. Did someone has a sample code for retrieve dimensions?

PLS HELP!

Thank you!
