ilogic Annotation plane- set "use sheet plane" on the whole dimensions.

204Е10 — Wed, 05 Feb 2020 09:16:30 GMT

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if someone know a illogic rule that be able to set the command "Annotation Plane>Use Sheet Plane" through the whole dimensions.

Note. I have attached a Screenshot with the problem that is generate.

My skills in ilogic are limited but I think the code could be something like the one shown below:

Sub Main()
Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
oDoc = ThisDoc.Document

Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheet

On Error Resume Next
Dim oDim As GeneralDimension

For Each oDim In oSheet.DrawingDimensions.GeneralDimensions
If oDim.Type = ObjectTypeEnum.kLinearGeneralDimensionObject Then
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("DrawingRAnnoPlanesUseSheet").Execute
End If
Next

End Sub

Cheers.

Hi,

Don't know if this is still relevant, but I believe you are having issues with the Dimension Type. I've had the same issue as you where dimensions were wrong on the drawing and I placed them on the sheet plane as well. Later I found out that the Dimension Type on the View was wrong.

You have to rightclick the view that you want to place the dimension in and than select the "General Dimension Type" and set it to projected.

A screenshot is included showing the difference between the "True" and "Projected" dimension types.

Kind regards,

Alexander Boogaard

I don't see this option anymore in 2022 of Inventor.

@alexanderboogaard is correct I think in his statement.
