"Basic" dimensions

Does ICAD support "Basic" Dimensioning? I am talking about Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. "Basic" dimensions are dimensions with a box drawn around them. If it is supported how do you specify, in dimension settings, that you want "Basic" dimensions?

No, you can't get a text box. Feature control frames and datum symbols are available, however.

Gee, that really stinks. Can this be done via VBA?

cadmonster,

Yes, this can be done in VBA.

You can use the BoundingBox Method to find the lower/upper points and draw a rectangle around the dimension text.
