ppDimensionImport

Example: View1, Base-Extrude, +

Example: View1, Radius@Fillet, -

Example: View1, d1@Sketch1, _

The 1st Parameter must refer to the name of the view as listed in the FMT. The 2nd Parameter may be a Named Feature (for Dimension import) or Named Dimension (for Dimension hide or delete). Only MARKED FOR DRAWING dimensions will be imported. Alternately, a boolean value (true or false) or the word BOTH may be specified (for use with the ENTIRE MODEL 3rd parameter option) to represent dimensions that are either MARKED FOR DRAWING or NOT MARKED FOR DRAWING (or both). The 3rd Parameter must be a + (plus symbol) for importing dimensions of a Named Feature. It may be a _ (underscore symbol), or - (minus symbol) to hide or delete Dimensions from the View. It may be an * (asterisk symbol) to import dimensions of the entire model.
Warning: Due to an issue with the SolidWorks API, Section and Detail Views are addressed under with two different names, depending on how and where it is called, without any apparent link between the names. This problem is reportedly fixed with swx2005sp4.0. For the purposes of Dimension Import, the View's position in the FMT must correctly match its view order name. (RMB-Click on the Section or Detail view to see its "Drawing View" number). IOW: "Drawing View5" *must* be the 5th View (in order) as listed in the FMT.

This property scripts the typical actions used to "finish" a detail drawing. Annotations are imported, then hidden or deleted, then they can be imported again into a different view.
