Changing dimension with scripting

[wakez]

I'm still a FreeCAD beginner, but the functionality that I've seen until now is really exciting !

I am modeling the floor construction for my garage renovation project with the Python scripting. I modeled the floor layers and changed the colors with the script. I managed to indicate the width of the floor with the "makeDimension", but since the floor is quite large, the font size is too small to read. Does any one know how to change the properties of the dimension with the script ?

Thanks.

yes, it's easy to do. Let's say your dimension is called "dim001":

Code: Select all

myDim = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.dim001
myDim.ViewObject.FontSize = 0.50

Hi Yorik,

thanks for the reply ! your suggestion worked for me.
Now I use the "makeDimension" function in the script to make an annotation, and then alter the FontSize:

Code: Select all

myDim=makeDimension(Base.Vector(0,0,0),Base.Vector(0,3570,0),Base.Vector(-400,0,0))
myDim.ViewObject.FontSize = 100
