This section describes Creo TOOLKIT functions that give access to the types of dimension that can be created in drawing mode. They do not apply to dimensions which are created in solid mode, either those created automatically as a result of feature creation, or reference dimensions created in a solid.

The ProDimension object is introduced in the section on Dimensions; read the explanation of ProDimension at the start of that section before reading further.

Dimensions created in drawing mode are stored either in the solid or in the drawing, depending upon the setting of the config.pro option CREATE_DRAWING_DIMS_ONLY. The default is NO, meaning that the dimensions will be stored in the solid. Refer to the Creo Parametric Detailed Drawings Help for more information on the various types of created dimension, and their behavior.

The owner field in the ProDimension object always refers to the model in which the dimension is stored.

The function ProDrawingDimensionVisit(), described in the section on Dimensions, can be used to find all the dimensions stored in a drawing.
