swpilotcli-set-dimension

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

# Change hole radius dimension D1 in Sketch2 to 8 mm
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-set-dimension/scripts/SetDimension/SetDimension.csproj -- "D1@Sketch2" 8

# Change extrude depth D1 in Boss-Extrude1 to 25 mm
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-set-dimension/scripts/SetDimension/SetDimension.csproj -- "D1@Boss-Extrude1" 25
