Dimensions of drawing view selection

[raymaster]

Hello All

I need two main separate things:

1. a code that can select specific dimensions of a pre-named drawing view

2. a code that can add named annotations from assembly file to a specific pre-named view in a drawing document.

I tried to do it this way, but it selects all the dimensions:

Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
    oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

    Dim oViewName As String
    oViewName = "Master_SB"

    Dim oSheet As Sheet
    oSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet

    ' Get the dimensions collection for the specific view
    Dim oDimensions As DrawingDimensions
    oDimensions = oSheet.DrawingDimensions

    ' Process the dimensions (select only those in the "Master_SB" view)
    Dim oDrawDim As DrawingDimension
    For Each oDrawDim In oDimensions
        If oDrawDim.Parent.Name = oViewName Then
            oDrawDoc.SelectSet.Select(oDrawDim)
        End If
    Next

Best

Hi @raymaster 

If you look at the parent of drawing dimesion it is a sheet object and not view name.

Syntax

DrawingDimension.Parent() As Sheet
