EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO FROM CONVERSATION
QUESTION / CONTEXT: I am using Inventor 2023 and I would like to make an ilogic that when a button is pressed or a hot key is used it will toggle which dimension style to use. I can assign the hot key myself so I don't need that as part of the code, more just something that sets the active dimension style the names of the dimension styles are FRACTIONAL 2024, DECIMAL 2024, and ARCHITECTURAL 2024. it would be nice if it was a command that acted like this. you click it once it makes FRACTIONAL 2024 the current, you click it again and i…
- `FRACTIONAL 2024`
- `DECIMAL 2024`
- `ARCHITECTURAL 2024`
- This changes the default for new dimensions you place (it won’t retroactively restyle dimensions already on the sheet).
- If you want a *second* rule that applies the new style to selected dimensions (or all dims in the drawing), tell me which behavior you want and I’ll add it.
- `DimensionStyles` is not defined in iLogic sometimes, even though it’s a real Inventor API type. Fix: don’t strongly-type that variable — treat it as an `Object`.
- `iLogicVb.StatusBarText` doesn’t exist in your iLogic environment. Fix: use `ThisApplication.StatusBarText`.
- Fix: use `DrawingStylesManager` (drawing-specific) instead of `StylesManager`.
