Does anyone know how to change "mat

Does anyone know how to change "mat

Does anyone know how to change "mat

(OP)
Does anyone know how to change "mate dimension value" through API?. There is a function "AssemblyDoc.EditMate", but in order to use it you have to select faces, or edges used to create the mate. All I want to do is to change the dimension value. Is there an easey way to access this value directly and change it?

Thanks.

RE: Does anyone know how to change "mat

First, I would rename the mate so that it is meaningful. You can use the same method as you would for changing dimensions.

Part.Parameter("Dist@TBW").SystemValue = rTBW

In this case, TBW is the name of the mate (i.e. Distance1) and Dist is the name of the dimension. Using default settings for the mate, you would use something like this:

Part.Parameter("D1@Distance1").SystemValue = rValue

Remember that the value gets set in meters...
