Just thinking out loud, is there a way to restore dimension position after the project is mirrored?
What I am trying to achieve is, I do a lot of project flips, for a house to suit house location.
So, all the drawings are done already and if I mirror the project, all the dims go haywire.
What I have achieved so far, I have managed to store origin coordinates and text location of all the Dims within a key schedule pre-flip and referencing those coordinates post-flip to guide the dims accordingly.
Has anyone tried something like this before and successfully achieved the result?
I want all the 90s , 270s to stay that way on the exact same offset from origin points.
Thanks for the response. But recreating the dimensions can’t be done because there are more than 5000 dimensions in one project and it would add a couple of days of work.
I will keep looking into it… thanks though
It will take a few minutes for Dynamo to recreate them.
You can obtain the necessary informations (line location, references, views, dimension types) before mirroring the project and then create again the dimensions.
Hi,
That is my primary approach… I am getting their text position and their origin with their element IDs and creating a key schedule within the project after the flip I am getting all that information and feeding it to the dimensions post mirroring. It does work but it is not perfect… It is close so I thought if someone else has any other approach to this problem.
