Catia V5 Macro for Dimension properties

[Gurucharanhcl]

Hello All,

Could anyone help with the macro which sets all dimension properties for,

1. Dimensions font with Catia Symbols (0.156 inch size) Regular Style with 20% spacing.

2. Precision of all linear dimensions should be 2 decimal.

3. Precision of all Basic dimensions(Dimensions with rectangular frame) should be 3 decimal.

4. Angular dimensions should not be touched for decimal places but the point no.1 above applies.

Set oDrwDoc = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Set oSheets = oDrwDoc.Sheets
Set oSheet = oSheets.ActiveSheet
Set oViews = oSheet.Views
For vc = 3 To oViews.Count 'scan all views for dimensions except main view and background views
Set oView = oSheet.Views.Item(vc)
oView.Activate
Set oDims = oView.Dimensions
For dc = 1 To oDims.Count
Set oDim = oDims.Item(dc)
Set oDimVal = oDim.GetValue
oDimVal.SetFormatName 1, "NUM,DIMM" 'pay attention to number format and unit, for inches you can write "NUM.DINC" or "in"
oDimVal.SetFormatPrecision 1, "0.010" 'precision - this is what you are searching for but you need to modify the macro, this is just an example

Next 'dc
Next 'vc


End If

End Sub
