Project Example

In your kBridge Examples Projects folder open the project called ‘Table_KB_Inventor_Example’.

In the Project Tree, find and expand CombineParts, expand the Models folder and right click on ‘CombineParts’ and ‘Set as Root’.

InvOrdDimExample2

Reference Location:

"world.combineparts.drawingdocument.drawingdocument0.sheetdocument.sheetdocument0.

frontview.frontview0.ordinatedimension.ordinatedimension0"

Link: https://knowledgebridge.engineer/projects

 

In the example below, a design has been created called ‘OrdinateDimenison’ with ‘InvOrdinateDimension’ as its mixin. ‘OrdinateDimenison’  was brought into the ‘FrontView0’ as its child.

InvOrdDimExample3

For the ‘OrdinateDimemsion’ design to work correctly you need to provide these 4 parameter values up in its parent, ‘FrontView.’

invOriginIndicatorPart = R.rootModel.PartsAssembly.PartsAssembly0.MyExtrudedPart.

MyExtrudedPart0.invName

 

invOriginIndicatorIntent = "kStartPointIntent"

 

invOriginIndicatorNamedFeature = "Work Point1"

 

invOriginIndicatorCenterMarkOrLineVisible = true

Below, the ExtrudedPart.ipt has been opened in Inventor and 4 work  points added and saved:
