Is there a way to copy driven dimension values?

jassco · Jan 17, 2023

Hi,

I need to copy some driven dimension values in a sketch from Solidworks to another application. I am surprised that I can't copy and paste it. I had to retype them manually. Is there a workaround? Thanks!

Best regards,

Alex

You can use a macro to export the selected dimension to a text/excel file and use from there.

Hi, Deepak:
Could you please show me a statement of this macro? I need to send dimensions with decimal of 6 digits to an existing macro to curve-fitting in Solidworks.

Best regards,
Alex

I just noticed that I can copy linear and angular dimensions using Ctrl C and V. But I have to set numbers of decimals first before I do that.
