How to edit the value of a specific dimension

October 28, 2009
In most cases if you want to modify geometry of any feature, it is more convenient to edit the value of a specific dimension directly using Dimension::SetSystemValue3 method instead of editing the definition of the feature with Feature::ModifyDefinition method.

The easiest way to retrieve a pointer to the corresponding dimension is via ModelDoc2::Parameter method that identifies them by name.

Similarly to options available in User Interface, the Dimension::SetSystemValue3 method allows you to modify dimensions in a specific configuration or in all configurations.

For example:

...
swModel.Parameter("D1@Extrude1").SetSystemValue3 0.1, swSetValueInConfiguration_e.swAllConfiguration, ""
...
