| name | swpilotcli-set-dimension |
| description | Set the value of a driving dimension in the active SolidWorks document by its full name. Requires two arguments, the dimension full name (e.g. `D1@Sketch1` or `D1@Boss-Extrude1`) and the new value in millimetres. Calls Parameter().SetSystemValue3 then rebuilds. Use as an atomic building block whenever you need to change a sketch or feature dimension, regardless of what that dimension drives (hole radius, extrude depth, rectangle length, etc.). |
swpilotcli-set-dimension
Set a driving dimension by full name to a new value in millimetres.
Usage
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-set-dimension/scripts/SetDimension/SetDimension.csproj -- <dimName@owner> <value_mm>
Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|
<dimName@owner> | Full dimension name, e.g. D1@Sketch1, RadiusHole@Sketch2, D1@Boss-Extrude1. |
<value_mm> | New value in millimetres (converted to metres internally). |
Notes
- Uses
ModelDoc2.Parameter(fullName) to fetch the dimension.
- Writes via
Dimension.SetSystemValue3(valueMeters, swSetValue_InThisConfiguration, null).
- Calls
EditRebuild3() and GraphicsRedraw2() after the change.
- Returns non-zero exit code if the dimension name cannot be found.
Examples
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-set-dimension/scripts/SetDimension/SetDimension.csproj -- "D1@Sketch2" 8
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-set-dimension/scripts/SetDimension/SetDimension.csproj -- "D1@Boss-Extrude1" 25
