Hi Everyone,

Can someone please let me know how can i retrieve all the existing dimension data/values in my drawings using NXOpen(For ex : Annotation Origin , Associativity Objects Name , Type of dimension , Associated view name, Append Text if any etc)

Thanks,

Each part has a dimension collection that returns all of the dimension objects.

Dim partDimensions() As Annotations.Dimension
partDimensions = workPart.Dimensions.ToArray

Look up the Annotation and Dimension classes in the help file. You can get most (if not all) of the information you are looking for here.

Thanks Cowski for responding back.
I have figured out how to retrieve most of the data using your code , but am struggling to retrieve the user defined symbol related data as i do not see any user defined symbol collection. Kindly help.

Hello Cowski ,

I tried your approach but as the symbols in my drawing are all user defined and not ug defualt custom symbols i am not able to retrieve them using the CustomSymbols collection.
I did not find a user defined symbol collection in the help file.
Please help.

If you have set a Name to each of your user defined symbol than it's pretty easy to retrieve them...
