EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TOFROM CONVERSATION
QUESTION / CONTEXTsolid works 2025, I am wanting to write a program that automatically creates a print from the part I have open with dimensions
IMPORTANT GUIDANCE
Create a drawing from the active part (your standard template)
Drop in standard views (3rd angle: Front/Top/Right)
Auto-insert the model’s dimensions/annotations *IF* those dimensions exist in the model and are eligible to be inserted (e.g., “marked for drawing” dimensions, or DimXpert/MBD dims) via the API examples SOLIDWORKS provides. [embedded media omitted]
--
While modeling, ensure important dims are real model dimensions (sketch/feature dims).
Mark the ones you want in drawings as “Marked for drawing” (this is what the API insertion example targets). [embedded media omitted]
If you use DimXpert dimensions (esp. for MBD), those can be imported into drawing views too. [embedded media omitted]
