Getting the value of the dimension

[Anonymous]

Hi

Is there a way to retrieve a value of the dimension of a specific line from an existing drawing then place that value on to excel? if not what other ways is there?

cheers

Once you have the object, you can determine its properties, and export that
data to Excel. I would use the object itself, rather than attempting to work
with an associate dimension object (if that is what you are talking about,
you are unclear on that).

There are plenty of examples that put data into Excel posted here.

get or write a function to calc distance (google should give lots of
examples)
then dDist = Distance(oline.Startpoint, oLine.Endpoint)
then get your reference to excel cell..eg... oCell.Value = dDist
if you run into snags post back with what you have tried and someone will
assuredly help
