Get Drawing dimensions of specific views via api

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get all dimensions inside a specific view.

I already have all general dimensions in the complete drawing, but I only want to change the dimensions of a specific view.

I don't know, where to check, if its a dimension of view A or view B.

Should be easy I think, but I haven't found yet.

Greetings

You can check 

Dim oview as DrawingView

Set oview = LinearGeneralDimension.IntentOne.Geometry.Parent

Holo..

The above code is working fine. it was great..:) but not able to get the dimensions form (retrieve model dimensions) model. 

Is there any way to get dimension based on view in a sheet..?. (i want to add sketch symbol for views basic, so i like to select the dimensions based on the views.)  

Note: Kindly guide me the right way. if anything wrong with my approach..

Thanks in advance.

I am sorry i do not really understand what you mean. Do you want to use retrieve model dimensions and create sketchpoints or do you want to add actual dimensions to the model?
