macro to add prefix / suffix on drawing quotas

[romy]

Good morning to all,

Is a macro possible to add a text, such as the symbol =, to the quotas of the design environment?

I often use it to indicate symmetric quotas and always do it by hand but a button that calls a macro would be convenient

Can anyone help me?

greetings

dim swapp as sldworks.sldworks
dim swmodel as sldworks.modeldoc2
dim swselmgr as sldworks.selectionmgr

const prefix as string = "= "
const suffix as string = " ="

sub main()

set swapp = application.sldworks

set swmodel = swapp.activedoc

if not swmodel is nothing then

set swselmgr = swmodel.selectionmanager

dim swdispdim as sldworks.displaydimension

set swdispdim = swselmgr.getselectedobject6(1, -1)

if not swdispdim is nothing then
swdispdim.settext 1, prefix
swdispdim.settext 2, suffix
else
msgbox "please select dimension"
end if
else
msgbox "please open model"
end if

end sub

selezioni la quota e lanci la macro.

ho modificato questa

Add equation to dimension using SOLIDWORKS API

Example will modify the value of the selected dimension and sets its value to be equal to the equation

as from image?

Thank you.

I think you don't need to use a macro, but just save yourself a style

Good morning.

thanks to all of you

tried both methods

a macro flaw is that the odds you have to select one by one

I don't know if you can change to have a multiselection with +ctrl

I wouldn't call it a sin, since it was given to you, it would be more correct to call it better.

Masonic excuse

I didn't want to disrespect anyone

was not only given to me but to all users

of course everything is better

modified the macro to use multi selection or area selection

Hi giancarlo,

perfect you are a dragon

everything works and I have already customized it

I'll make it even harder...

Is it possible even on the hole captions?

I would like to add a splash to the last rigo of caption

Changed quickly, keep in mind that the selection quotas are of various type so that even the addition of any texts must preserve the text already present.
Since you customized the others you can try to change this by helping with the solidworks bees help.

Hello everyone,

I send the post as I used the macro politely made available to store it

But I noticed something:

when I apply the macro goes to erase the parameters of sw and practically explodes the parameters in simple text

this makes the not parametric notes and if I change for example the hole or lamatura measurement these do not update

is it possible to correct?

greetings
