How to get display name of dimension using protoolkit?

[Ben_C]

Hello,

I would like to know what protoolkit function is needed to obtain the name of the dimension as it appears in the tree, "TEST_DIM_TAG" in this case.

Calls to ProModelitemNameGet & ProDimensionSymbolGet both return "d0"

Thank you in advance.

Is this a sketched dim, or how was this created?

[Ben_C]

I don't believe it is a sketched dimension, but I'm not sure how it was created as this file was passed to me.

File has been attached.

Demensions was shown. This is an annotation items.

It's an annotation  Element

Yaroslav was faster, and you may need Toolkit for 3D Drawings.

Okay thank you. Do you know which Protoolkit API call can be made to obtain the displayed name (TEST_DIM_TAG) in the model tree?

EDIT: I have solved this. The API calling sequence needed is:

ProAnnotationElementGet(p_handle, &element)

ProModelitemNameGet(element, dimTag)

Thank you for the assistance.

No for this 3D Drawings API I'm out. But did you checked ProDimensionTextEstring*()

But I never used this.

The correct API calling sequence needed is:

ProAnnotationElementGet(p_handle, &element)

ProModelitemNameGet(element, dimTag)

Thanks for the help
