BasePart
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Entity1 | String | Name of an edge, surface or vertex of to be referenced. |
| Part1 | Part | Part to be dimensioned. |
| TextOrigin | Point | Text origin of dimension value. |
| View | Part | View that contains the parts to be dimensioned. |
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AllowEmpty? | Boolean | If False (old behavior), with creation errors, the exception is thrown.
If True, the creation errors are ignored and the %%updateSelf Rule is set to NoValue (though the dimension child is still in the intent tree, it is not created in Inventor drawings). Default: False. |
| ArrowheadsInside? | Boolean | Should arrowheads be inside the leader lines? |
| Arrowhead1Inside?
Arrowhead2Inside? |
Boolean | Indicates that the arrowhead is inside. |
| Arrowhead1Type
Arrowhead2Type |
Name | Indicates the type of the arrowhead Possible.
Values: :ByStyle, :Blank, :Circle, :Closed, :Datum45Blank, :Datum45Filled, :Datum60Blank, :Datum60Filled, :Filled, :Flared, :Half1Filled, :Half1Flared, :Half2Filled, :Half2Flared, :LargeDot, :None, :Oblique, :Open, :Origin, :SmallDot, :ThickLine. Default is :ByStyle. |
| CenterText? | Boolean | Should the dimension text be centered? |
| ClosestPoint1
ClosestPoint2 |
Point | Points used to select the correct drawing curve on the view. If there are several curves representing the entity, the one closest to the point is selected. Measure of closeness is a distance from the point to the center of the curve's bounding box. |
| Color | String | Specifies the color to be used for the dimension. By default, controls both the dimension lines and the text. |
| ColorDimLines | String | Color of dimension lines. By default, the value of the 'color' parameter is used. |
| ColorText | String | Color of dimension value. By default, the value of the 'color' parameter is used. |
| DimStyle | String | Inventor dimensioning style to be used. |
| DimType | Name | Dimension alignment, possible keywords: :vertical, :horizontal, :aligned, :arcLength, :symmetric, :diametric |
| Entity2 | String | Name of edge, surface, or vertex of the dimension should reference. |
| ExtensionLine1Visible?
ExtensionLine2Visible? |
Boolean | Indicates that the extension line is visible. |
| Foreshortened? | Boolean | If true, the foreshortened angular dimension is created.
Default: False. |
| FormattedText | String | Text to be placed on the drawing. The text should already be formatted. See format(). |
| HideValue? | Boolean | Allows you to hide the dimension value, if set to True.
Default: False |
| HorizontalJustification | Name | Horizontal alignment of text, possible keywords are: :left, :center, :right. |
| InspectionDataLabel | String | Formatted text placed left of the dimension value.
Default: Empty string. |
| InspectionDataShape | Name | The border shape: can be one of the following: :AngularEnds,:NoBorder,:RoundedEnds.
Default is :RoundedEnds. |
| InspectionDataRate | String | Formatted text (percentage value) placed to the right of the dimension value.
Default: Empty string. |
| Intent1 | Any | Type of dimension point , possible keywords: :startPoint, :endPoint, :midPoint, :centerPoint, :circularLeftPoint, :circularRightPoint, :circularTopPoint, :circularBottomPoint. |
| Intent2 | Any | Type of dimension point , possible keywords: :startPoint, :endPoint, :midPoint, :centerPoint, :circularLeftPoint, :circularRightPoint, :circularTopPoint, :circularBottomPoint. |
| IsInspectionDimension? | Boolean | Enables the inspection data on the dimension.
Default: False. |
| Layer | String | Name of layer for the dimension. |
| LineSpacing | Number | Line spacing |
| LineSpacingType | Name | Type of line spacing, possible keywords are: :Multiple, :Exact. |
| Part2 | Part | Part the dimension should reference. |
| Precision | Integer | The number of decimal places displayed for this dimension.
Valid values 0…8 or NoValue. Default: NoValue. |
| ToleranceHole | String | The string specifying hole tolerance.
Default: NoValue. |
| ToleranceLower | Number | The lower variation from the nominal value.
Default: NoValue. |
| ToleranceMethod | Name | Specifies the tolerance type.
Valid values: :Basic, :Default, :Deviation, :LimitLinear, :LimitsFitsLinear, :LimitsFitsShowSize, :LimitsFitsShow, :LimitsFitsStacked, :LimitsStacked, :Max, :Min, :Override, :Reference, :Symmetric or NoValue. Default: NoValue. |
| TolerancePrecision | Integer | The number of decimal places displayed for the tolerance.
Valid values 0…1 or NoValue. Default: NoValue. |
| ToleranceShaft | String | The string specifying the shaft tolerance. |
| ToleranceUpper | Number | The upper variation from the nominal value.
Default: NoValue. |
| VerticalJustification | Name | Vertical alignment of the text, possible keywords are: :upper, :middle, :lower. |
