Delete all dimensions on a drawing with ilogic

[Anonymous]

Good Day,

Does anyone know how to delete all dimensions on a drawing with ilogic/api?

I would like to run a rule that deletes all dimensions on a drawing when loaded, then I want to run another rule that populates the drawing with new dimensions referenced from work points on the model.

I am able to add new dimensions, but would like to know how to delete all existing dimensions with a rule.

Thanks 🙂

This bit of code should accomplish what you want. It will delete every drawing dimension on the active sheet. I also added a bit of code to make the entire operation a single undo operation, as it would add each dimension being deleted as it's own entry otherwise.

Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheet
Dim oDim As DrawingDimension
Dim oTrans As Transaction
oTrans = ThisApplication.TransactionManager.StartTransaction(ThisApplication.ActiveDocument,"Delete")
For Each oDim In oSheet.DrawingDimensions
	oDim.Delete
Next 
oTrans.End
