Hi @ska_drivers,

Review the following code and let me know if you have any questions.

import Rhino
import scriptcontext as sc
import System

def TestOverrideDimensionScale():
    filter = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectType.Annotation
    rc, objref = Rhino.Input.RhinoGet.GetOneObject("Select text", False, filter)
    if not objref or rc != Rhino.Commands.Result.Success:
        return
        
    text = objref.TextEntity()
    if not text:
        return
        
    dim_style = text.DimensionStyle
    new_name = sc.doc.DimStyles.GetUnusedStyleName(dim_style.Name)
    override_style = dim_style.Duplicate(new_name, System.Guid.Empty, dim_style.Id)
    override_style.DimensionScale = dim_style.DimensionScale + 1.0
    override_style.SetFieldOverride(Rhino.DocObjects.DimensionStyle.Field.DimensionScale)
    
    new_text = text.Duplicate()
    new_text.SetOverrideDimStyle(override_style)
    
    sc.doc.Objects.Replace(objref, new_text)
    sc.doc.Views.Redraw()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    TestOverrideDimensionScale()

Hello, what if I replace the text with annotations? Which part of the code changes will work?

Hi Dale,

How can we do this with RhinoScript instead of Python?

(VbScript)

Hi @ska_drivers,

This operation is not supported by legacy RhinoScript - sorry.

Your code only works with text. If I want to change the model space scale for the dimension, it will not work. Is there any way to handle this issue with dimensions? Thank you.

Hi @theanhkc07,

Supporting any annotation isn’t that much different.

#! python3
import Rhino
import scriptcontext as sc
import System

def TestOverrideDimensionScale():
    filter = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectType.Annotation
    rc, objref = Rhino.Input.RhinoGet.GetOneObject("Select annotation", False, filter)
    if not objref or rc != Rhino.Commands.Result.Success:
        return
        
    annotation = objref.Geometry()
    if not isinstance(annotation, Rhino.Geometry.AnnotationBase):
        return
        
    dim_style = annotation.DimensionStyle
    new_name = sc.doc.DimStyles.GetUnusedStyleName(dim_style.Name)
    override_style = dim_style.Duplicate(new_name, System.Guid.Empty, dim_style.Id)
    override_style.DimensionScale = dim_style.DimensionScale + 1.0
    override_style.SetFieldOverride(Rhino.DocObjects.DimensionStyle.Field.DimensionScale)
    
    new_annotation = annotation.Duplicate()
    new_annotation.SetOverrideDimStyle(override_style)
    
    sc.doc.Objects.Replace(objref, new_annotation, False)
    sc.doc.Views.Redraw()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    TestOverrideDimensionScale()
