Hi itsmyjob, The function GetPoint gives Leader Endpoint and Breakpoints, it won't give the stub end point. myleader.NbPoint gives count as 1 unless we have any Breakpoints. Or is there any way to get the stub length, so that stub end point can be calculated using Text Anchor point/Position?

Is there a function in CATIA VBA to select objects by using "Intersecting Rectangle Selection Trap" method?

We are updating drawing views with similar parts, where we end up in getting lot of pink dimensions. Re-routing will not work for some dimensions, and we need to create new ones. To avoid writing ECN and also to ease the comparison of old and new drawings, we exactly overlap the dimension...

Can someone let me know how to use GetBoundaryBox function of Drawing Dimension in Catia VBA?

I have two dimensions in drafting, and want to Line up one of them to other, I used Line-Up option, but it only aligned the dimension line and not the dimension value. I want to overlap both dimensions exactly to the Dimension value position. I tried to create a macro, but I am not able to get x...

Thanks for the tip DBezaire, and a star for you! I was looking for such option. Unfortunately we don't have the Core and Cavity license with us.

Is it not possible to select, without creating new features? The thread I have mentioned in the first post suggests a similar solution.
