Dimension Style

Hi Group,

Where are Dimension Style settings stored and how can I view them?

Thanks,

Type 'DDIM' and then select the 'Compare' button.

Best regards,

If your wondering about various settings for individual dimension types
using VBA, check out the object browser.

 

Stored in the drawing
i thought you could just do something like
msgbox thisdrawing.dimstyles

Hi Group,

I'll try to be be more specific. I can set a variable to a particular
dimstyle. For example;

Set mydimstyle = ThisDrawing.DimStyles("standard")

If I set a break point and examine the dimstyle in the watch window, I see
only a name property. I am expecting to see a property for each dimension
variable setting here as well. How can I retrieve / set any particular
dimension setting for a dimstyle in VBA without that setting becoming a
dimstyle overide?

Thanks,

so like
? ThisDrawing.DimStyles("standard").someProperty

 

oh ok
so i guess its like blocks
you have to define the whole thing first
then add it to the collection

then you'd have to do something like
delete the old one
rename the new one to the old ones name
to replace it

i think
