Extract ID Name From a Dimension.

You can use the GETCOMMAND and GETTEXT functions - see PC-DMIS Help Center - 2023.1 (hexagonmi.com) & PC-DMIS Help Center - 2023.1 (hexagonmi.com)

For example, to pull the ID from a location dimension, add the following assignment below it..

ASSIGN/V1=GETTEXT("ID",0,GETCOMMAND("DIMENSION LOCATION","UP",1))

or this if you want to use the enumeration id's instead of language specific strings...

ASSIGN/V1=GETTEXT(2,0,GETCOMMAND(1000,"UP",1))

Thank you! I think that would be for a location dimension? Just had to modify it a little for a position dimension.  I dont like how the auto name for dimensioning a position says "LOC#"

Ended up being, GETTEXT("REF_ID",0,GETCOMMAND("DIMENSION POSITION","UP",1))

You can change the default names if you'd like in your settings. With a program open, press F5 --> ID Setup Tab --> "Labels for:" dropdown to "Dimensions" --> Dropdown menu for "Type" and choose the type of dimension label you'd like to rename. Or alternatively after the first time you rename a command, PC-DMIS will continue that pattern until you change the name again.
