How do I get the diameter of an edge?

[albie0803]

Diameter is a member of Edge

Edge<43> = 10

How should this be written? I have tried a few things but really have no idea. The reference tells me that Diameter is a member of Edge but doesn't show me how to create the correct syntax to read the value.
https://www.alibreforum.com/forum/m...:/class_alibre_script_1_1_a_p_i_1_1_edge.html
CylDia = Edge<45>(Diameter)
print "\nYou chose a cylinder diameter of %.4f \n" % CylDia

gives me

You chose a cylinder diameter of 0.0000

Off the top of my head:

E = MyPart.GetEdge("Edge<45>")
Dia = E.Diameter

Well I guess it's back to the coding. (holding breath for next release )

Hello Andy,

A cylindrical face when selected shows the diameter in the status bar. Can I get this value via scripting?

 

[ajayre]

Currently only diameters of edges are supported. Probably best to submit a ticket with your feature request.

Andy, you mentioned in another thread that the new release would have something pertaining to this. Would that make it possible to
click on a face or edge and insert the associated number into a script?

 

[albie0803]

That was the way I read it actually, so I hope I was right.

I'm not sure what you are referring to. Can you show me the post?

UtilityDialog GUI selection options for lists of multiple parts, faces, edges, points, or sketch objects. (Like Alibre pattern dialogs)

This one is already done for the next release. Andy

Oh, ok. I thought you were talking about the diameter of curved faces.
