Dimension value

Anonymous — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:16:35 GMT

I need in VB.NEt to copy the dimension text to a variable. I have a dimension that display "22" as value, but when I use the .measurement the value is "21.223233". There is a way to obtain the displaied value?

I think you're looking for .DimensionText

thank you,

I tried DIMENSIONTEXT and work if I have a dimension with text override.

If the dimension text is not override the result is an empty string so I use the measurement but the result is not formatted as displaied.

Oh I see. Your dimension style has a precision set for the primary units which is rounding the measurement.

I can't see anything that gives you the rounded figure. I guess you could get the number of decimal places from the .dimdec property then format the .measurement value to the same precision...

You can call the Dimension's FormatMeasurement() method and pass it the values

of the Measurement and DimensionText properties.

Thank you...I resolved it

Why not implement a function that read the exactly value displaied?
