angular dimension
hi
i have a problem with angular dimension of two enties.
when the angle between two entities increases to 180 degree(e.g.210 degree) above it gives opposite angle(360-210=150 degree).
also i want to change the dimension text location in between selected entites.
here it always places the dimension at x=0.105 and y=0.138.
can u provide me any solution on this matter.
set swapp = application.sldworks
set swmodel = swapp.activedoc
set selmgr = swmodel.selectionmanager
boolstatus = swmodel.activatesheet("sheet1")
boolstatus = swmodel.extension.selectbyid2("line4@sketch1@part1-2@drawing view1", "extsketchsegment", 0.0, 0.0, 0, false, 0, nothing, 0)
boolstatus = swmodel.extension.selectbyid2("line1@sketch1@part1-2@drawing view1", "extsketchsegment", 0.0, 0.0, 0, true, 0, nothing, 0)
dim annotation as object
set annotation = swmodel.adddimension2(0.105998, 0.138696, -1.0487e-15)
also i want to change the dimension text location in between selected entites.
here it always places the dimension at x=0.105 and y=0.138.
set annotation = swmodel.adddimension2(0.105998, 0.138696, -1.0487e-15)
change the value of x & y in "set annotation = swmodel.adddimension2(0.105998 (x), 0.138696(y), -1.0487e-15)" to your value (should be in meters)

but these x and y values are respective drawing.i cant get this values when view scale is changed.
i want to place the dimension with respect to entities.follwing remarks are given by solidworks api
dimensions are created based on selection location. for example, creating an angular dimension between two lines gets different results based on which line endpoints are selected. therefore, if you are using modeldocextension::selectbyid2 to select the entities for dimensioning, then you should specify the xyz selection coordinates. you must also leave its objectname argument empty, because if you pass the objectname argument to modeldocextension::selectbyid2, then the selection routines tries to locate that item without using the coordinates.
which x,y,z shall i give to selectbyid
quick
