Creo] Get the dimensions that the model's features have

□Get dimensions included in a feature

• Get Features from the model.
• Get the dimensions contained in a Feature.

▷ Code:]

• After deploying the udf, you can modify the dimensions included in the feature.
• You can get the parameter names and values ​​included in the feature(Blog).
• When you deploy a udf, the user defined dimension names are automatically changed to the Creo system dimension names.
• You can get dimension names and values ​​of datum sketch curve features in an assembly.

Creo Model	Execution results

• The VBA program searches in the following order: model objects, Feature objects, and dimension objects.
• You can search all dimensions included in the model by Feature ID.
• You can compare cases where dimension names, dimension quantities, and dimension values ​​are different by Feature ID in similar models.
• The model's information can be stored in a database, allowing you to create a separate comparison search program.
• It will be possible to create a comparative search program using AI.
• Imagine, what if AI could understand the data stored in your database, make predictions while you’re modeling in Creo, and provide a model that looks like the part the designer is trying to create?
