I am currently using a program called Rulestream to create 3D models and dwgs in Solidworks.
I use a Drawing Productivity Pack (DPP)in SW that uses macros to position the dimensions in the dwg using the following format:
Z-Z,D1@Sketch23,Bottom,1,
Z-Z,D1@Sketch23,Right,3

basically it's telling SW to place the dimension D1 from Sketch23 into section view Z-Z, 1" above the bottom of section view Z-Z and 3" to the right of section view Z-Z.

Now my question is... How does the Macros have to be written so that SW gives me the location of a selected dimension, puts it in the format mentioned above, and creates a .txt file with that information?
