| name | swpilotcli-check-dangling-dims |
| description | Scan all dimensions in the active SolidWorks drawing and report which ones are dangling (unattached). Lists every dimension with its type, value, and name, marking dangling ones with [!]. Outputs a summary count at the end. Use before running a repair tool, for QC checks before release, or whenever you need to know if a drawing has dangling annotations. |
SolidWorks Check Dangling Dimensions
Scan every dimension in the active drawing and report dangling status.
Prerequisites
- SolidWorks 2024+ with SwpilotCLI add-in installed
- .NET 8+ Runtime on the system
- An active
.slddrw drawing document open in SolidWorks
What this Skill does
- Iterates all sheets and views in the active drawing
- For each
DisplayDimension annotation, checks IAnnotation.IsDangling()
- Prints every dimension with view name, type, value, full name, and OK / DANGLING status
- Prints a summary: total dimension count, dangling count, and a list of all dangling dimensions
When to use
- Before repair: confirm how many dangling dimensions exist before running RepairDanglingAI
- After repair: verify the drawing is clean
- QC / release check: ensure a drawing has no dangling annotations before issuing
Quick start
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-check-dangling-dims/scripts/CheckDanglingDims/CheckDanglingDims.csproj
Expected output:
Active document: AA-NDE-R.SLDDRW
==============================================
工程圖: AA-NDE-R.SLDDRW
==============================================
正在檢查 Dangling Dimensions（懸空尺寸）...
[v] [視圖] 前視圖 | 線性尺寸 | 25.000 mm | D1@草圖1@AA-NDE-R | OK
[!] [視圖] 前視圖 | 直徑尺寸 | 10.000 mm | D2@草圖2@AA-NDE-R | *** DANGLING（懸空）***
==============================================
檢查完成！共 32 個尺寸，其中 3 個為懸空尺寸。
以下尺寸為 Dangling（懸空），需要修復：
[!] [視圖] 前視圖 -> 直徑尺寸 | 值: 10.000 mm | 名稱: D2@草圖2@AA-NDE-R
