Is there a way to add in Dimensions to a Part through SKILL?

I know the logic behind deciding where to add the dimensions could be a little complicated but is there even a command to add the dimension in? A quick search through the SKILL Reference document isn't returning any commands that might work. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,

Will

    There's no easy way (such as "axlAddDimension"). It's worth an enhancement request.

    I do have some code that might help but, if you want to do it yourself, start by adding a symbol skeleton and add lines and text to that.

    Thanks for the info, Dave. I think I will have to table this for now and maybe re-evaluate down the line if Cadence ever gets around to adding something like this.
