API and Hole Callouts

API and Hole Callouts

API and Hole Callouts

(OP)
Hello All,
I'm having trouble finding the API commands to get and set Hole Callout information in a drawing.  I want to change the tolerance type and values of a Hole Callout dimension.  Below is the code that just changes the type to bilateral.  It works fine for regular display dimensions, but doesn't do anything to a hole callout.  I think it has something to do with the Callout Value.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.

Chris

Sub main()
    Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
    Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
    Set swSelMgr = swModel.SelectionManager
    Count = swSelMgr.GetSelectedObjectCount2(-1)    'Number of Dimensions Selected
    If swSelMgr.GetSelectedObjectType3(1, -1) <> swSelDIMENSIONS Then   'Verify Dimensions Selected
        swApp.SendMsgToUser2 "No Dimensions Selected", swMbWarning, swMbOk
    End
    End If
    
    Count = Count + 1
    i = 1
    Do While i < Count
    Set swDispDim = swSelMgr.GetSelectedObject6(i, 0)
    Set swDim = swDispDim.GetDimension
    Set swDimTol = swDim.Tolerance
    
    swDimTol.Type = swTolBILAT
    i = i + 1
    Loop
    swModel.ClearSelection2 True
End Sub

Any idea where I should start looking?  Thanks.
