OVERRIDE DIM`s

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello!

 

I have a part that we use for every single project, every time we need to change part length dim. I created dwg file that shows part with dim`s and a dialog box that asks for the new value

 

HS = InputBox("New length", "Length", HS)

 

The question is : how to override dim value with the dialog box value (dimension equals HS) in iLogic?

 

Thanks

Do you want to run this rule in the drawing?   You want to change the part dimension from the drawing?

No, I`d like to keep part intact. All I need is to override dimension on the drawing.

Here's a rule that can do it. 
It's not easy to identify dimensions on the drawing.  This rule will work on every overridden linear dimension on the first sheet of the drawing.  If there is only one overridden dimension, then the rule is easy to use.  You have to manually override the dimension one time, and then the rule can find it.
 As noted in the rule, you have to change the conversion factor if your part is in units of mm.
