Dimension Component (Part and Assembly).

Dimension Component (Part and Assembly).

The following idea should be implemented to my opinion:

 

Dimension Component (Part and Assembly).

Please provide a tool that makes it possible to create and define i-properties with the maximum outside dimensions of a component (Read Part and Assembly), like “Length” “Width” and “Thickness”.

The dimensions should be based either on the UCS or on a User defined UCS if needed (of the component is rotated).

At the moment I use the Rangebox of the component in the API, but this is only based on the UCS and cannot be defined in another position or rotation or User defined UCS.

I would find this helpful also, I often find myself needing this information in coding.

Hi there,

 

this topic is very similar to this:

 

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/overall-bounding-box-size-of-part-or-assembly/idi-p/67...

 

you probably figured it out, but there are ways to calculate the boundingbox of a rotatet part.

 

Just take a lock at the "other" idea.

 

greetings
