Help with IManagedDrawingViewExtensions (drawing work point proxy)

[Tom_Servo]

@JelteDeJong 

I have been using Jelte De Jong IManagedDrawingViewExtensions and it's been working great.

I need help making it work with work point proxy. 

I can create dimensions easily with curves but I want to be able to use work points from assembly components. 

I'm open to other methods but using the nifty attributes has been working well, but when the attribute is assigned to a WorkPointProxy I can't get it to work for some reason.

I think it will not be possible to do what you want with the code from my blog. That code is depending on the function:

Dim curves = view.DrawingCurves(obj)

Wich will give back the curves for the dimensions. But that function only takes Edge, Face, PartFeature, Sketch, SketchEntity, Sketch3D, SketchEntity3D, ComponentOccurrence, or the proxies to any of these as input. Not "work points". Therefore it will not work.

sounds good.
Thanks for getting back to me.

One more question.

Using your code, should I be able to specify the dimension type?

Dim dimTypeEnum As DimensionTypeEnum
dimTypeEnum = 60163

[JelteDeJong]

You can add types as extra arguments to the AddLinear method. have a look at line 3 in this example. (Also have a look at all other options in the help file.)

ThisDrawing.BeginManage()
If True Then 
	Dim linDim3 = genDims.AddLinear("Dimension 1", VIEW1.SheetPoint(0.5, 1.5), intent1, intent2, DimensionTypeEnum.kAlignedDimensionType)
End If
ThisDrawing.EndManage()

I tried both the horizontal and the vertical but nothing I did would change my dimension from horizontal to vertical.
What found out was that, when I changed the attribute reference from an occurrence to an edge it worked.

Lesson learned:
Don't use Component Occurrence Proxy.

Thank you for all of your help.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to help me.
