[BUG] Drawing Dimensions.Add Error

[siddhu2310]

Describe the bug I have created two points in the Drawing, then tried to generate the Dimensions for it, Just I need to show the Distance Between the Points.

Error: ''' Traceback (most recent call last): File "d:\Tesing\Drwing\todrw.py", line 86, in my_dimension = drawing_view.dimensions.add(catDimDistance, elements, selpoints, catDimDistanceMin) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\pycatia\drafting_interfaces\drawing_dimensions.py", line 113, in add self.drawing_dimensions.Add( File "<COMObject >", line 2, in Add TypeError: must be real number, not Point2D '''

I have Solved the Issue Myself, Just Passed Com _Object

elements = (origine.com_object,line_2d.com_object)

[evereux]

I'm re-opening this issue as you shouldn't have to do that as an end user. That should be done within the class method itself so I'll get this patched soon. However, the update will break your current solution.

[evereux]

There's been some ninja editing here ... The original question was regarding the DrawingDimensions.add2() class method. Both require fixing.

[evereux]

I've submitted fixes for both DrawingDimensions.add() and DrawingDimensions.add2() to the developement branch which will be included in the next 0.74 release.

Here are complete working examples for both. These require an already open CATDrawing with an active view.

DrawingDimensions.add()

line_1 = factory_2d.create_line(50, 10, 150, 10)
line_2 = factory_2d.create_line(50, 10, 120, 100)
elipse = factory_2d.create_ellipse(-40, 100, 120, 180, 120, 90, 0, 3)
point_1 = factory_2d.create_point(-10, 190)
point_2 = factory_2d.create_point(-120, 190)

catDimAngle = cat_dim_type.index('catDimAngle')
catDimAuto = cat_dim_line_rep.index('catDimAuto')

line_elements = (line_1, line_2)
selection_points_1 = (150, 10, 120, 100)

active_view.dimensions.add(catDimAngle, line_elements, selection_points_1, catDimAuto)

catDimLengthCurvilinear = cat_dim_type.index('catDimLengthCurvilinear')
catDimOffset = cat_dim_line_rep.index('catDimOffset')

var_elements = (point_1, point_2, elipse)
selection_points_2 = (0, 0, 0, 0)
active_view.dimensions.add(catDimLengthCurvilinear, var_elements, selection_points_2, catDimOffset)

DrawingDimensions.add2()

Thank you so much for the support @evereux When I can expect the 0.7.4 Release ?

[evereux]

This has now been released.
