AddSelectionFilter Feature Dimensions

[Anonymous]

Hello.

I use VB6 with Inventor 10
I want the user to select a dimension inside a part through API .
This is a Sketch Dimension or a Extrude Dimension.
For Sketch Dimensions I use kSketchDimConstraintFilter
But then I can't select the Extrude (Feature) dimensions.
Can this somehow be done?

Thanks in advanced,

Geert

Code:

Dim oSelect As New clsSelect
Dim oDimension As Inventor.DimensionConstraint
Set oDimension = oSelect.Pick
(kSketchDimConstraintFilter, "Select length!")

-> Pick is a class functie inside clsSelect:

Public Function Pick(filter As SelectionFilterEnum, strTekst As String) As Object
Set oSelect = oInteraction.SelectEvents
oSelect.AddSelectionFilter filter
etc......

Sorry, but the API currently does not support selection of feature
dimensions. This is a known limitation and will be considered for a future
release.

Hi Sanjay.

We now have Inventor 11, but I still can't find it.
Is this still a limitation?

Unfortunately, yes. The API doesn't yet support feature dimensions (other
than being able to get to the associated parameter).
