iLogic Dimension anchor points

[richard_griffin]

is there a way to control where the ilogic dimension starts on a face? On the odd occasion it randomly picks a spot to start the dimension, is there anything I can do to make sure its always at the end of a line segment?

There are lots of code examples here on this forum that place dimension into drawings, but usually the most complicated part of the process is understanding the intents used within the various methods.

When placing dimensions on drawings using iLogic, there is a place to specify 'intent'.  This 'intent' tells the dimension what geometry to attach it to, and usually at what point along that geometry to attach to.  How you specify that intent determines how the dimension will attach to the geometry in the drawing.

Here are a few links that may help with this:

GeneralDimensions.AddLinear Method 

GeometryIntent Object 

PointIntentEnum Enumerator
