Title: Update Last Dimension
Post by: Matersammichman on December 08, 2006, 03:23:25 PM

DimUpdate doesn't exist in vba, and I can't get SendCommand to release, so how do I Update a dimension?

my guess w/o seeing your code would be to store the style name and select dims and re-assign them the style name forcing an update

ThisDrawing.SendCommand "dim" & vbCr & "up" & vbCr & "l" '& vbCr '

Code: [Select]

Dim objdim As AcadDimension
    objdim.Update
does .update not work?

Do you need to update because you've changed the dimstyle?

Quote

Dimensions created via the AutoCAD user interface are created with the active dimension style plus all document overrides. Dimensions created via ActiveX are created with the active dimension style only. To have the dimensions created via ActiveX take on the document overrides, use the CopyFrom method to copy the dimension style from the document to the active dimension style. This process will copy all existing overrides into the active dimension style.

Code: [Select]

.....
     ThisDrawing.SetVariable "LUNITS", 2
     ThisDrawing.SetVariable "LUPREC", 2
     ThisDrawing.SetVariable "DIMLUNIT", 2
     ThisDrawing.SetVariable "DIMDEC", 2

    objDimStyle.CopyFrom ThisDrawing
    ThisDrawing.ActiveDimStyle = objDimStyle
