Extract Value from linear dimension show Element .

I just threw this together:

procedure(dim_txt()
let(()
axlClearSelSet()
axlSetFindFilter( ?enabled list("noall" "symbols") ?onButtons list("noall" "symbols"))
axlSingleSelectPoint()
when(nindex(car(axlGetSelSet())->name "DIMENSION")
foreach(obj (car(axlGetSelSet())->children)
when(obj->objType == "text"
axlMsgPut("text %s" obj->text)
)
)
)
)
)

Hi David,

I not only need the distance but also two coordinate points for the distance.

Any idea?

I think the simplest way of getting that data is to use axlShowObjectToFile() to write the data to a ascii file, then parse the file for the coordinate data,

which I think is easier that attempting to figure out the database pointers from the dimension to the geometry objects

David, thanks for your input..=)
