QUESTION / CONTEXTwrite an ilogic code to automatically dimension the first view placed with ordinate dimensions using proxy info Inventor 2023

IMPORTANT GUIDANCE

  1. Ordinate dimensions require a valid origin point.
  2. Dimensions must be placed to edges or vertices, not sketch points or geometry points.
  3. This script uses proxy geometry (e.g., edges from the part) visible in the first view to define the origin and dimension targets.
  4. --
  5. This works best if the base view shows clear linear edges (i.e., no isometric or broken views).
  6. You can expand it to support filtering for specific edges or applying to multiple views.
  7. You may need to fine-tune the `MidPoint` usage depending on geometry clarity.
  8. Error: `'kBaseDrawingViewType' is not a member of 'Inventor.DrawingViewTypeEnum'`
