AddDistanceBetweenObjects Method
Solid Edge FrameworkSupport Type Library > Dimensions Collection : AddDistanceBetweenObjects Method
Specifies the object from which the distance is to be measured. This can be another Dimension object. In that case, the newly created dimension will be added to the given dimension's group.
Specifies the coordinates of the first object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
Specifies the coordinates of the first object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
Specifies the coordinates of the first object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
Specifies whether the object or a key point of the object is to be considered for measuring. If KeyPoint1 is True, the object is used only to extract the key point and this key point is used to dimension. For example, when a circle is treated as a key point, the dimension is measured from the center. If it is treated as an object (not as a key point) by setting the Boolean value to False, then the dimension is measured to the tangent point.
Specifies the object up to which the distance is to be measured.
Specifies the coordinates of the second object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
Specifies the coordinates of the second object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
Specifies the coordinates of the second object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
Specifies whether the object or a key point of the object is to be considered for measuring. If KeyPoint2 is True, the object is used only to extract the key point and this key point is used to dimension. For example, when a circle is treated as a key point, the dimension is measured from the center. If it is treated as an object (not as a key point) by setting the Boolean value to False, then the dimension is measured to the tangent point.

Parameters
Object1
Specifies the object from which the distance is to be measured. This can be another Dimension object. In that case, the newly created dimension will be added to the given dimension's group.
x1
Specifies the coordinates of the first object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
y1
Specifies the coordinates of the first object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
z1
Specifies the coordinates of the first object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
keyPoint1
Specifies whether the object or a key point of the object is to be considered for measuring. If KeyPoint1 is True, the object is used only to extract the key point and this key point is used to dimension. For example, when a circle is treated as a key point, the dimension is measured from the center. If it is treated as an object (not as a key point) by setting the Boolean value to False, then the dimension is measured to the tangent point.
Object2
Specifies the object up to which the distance is to be measured.
x2
Specifies the coordinates of the second object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
y2
Specifies the coordinates of the second object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
z2
Specifies the coordinates of the second object's locate point. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
keyPoint2
Specifies whether the object or a key point of the object is to be considered for measuring. If KeyPoint2 is True, the object is used only to extract the key point and this key point is used to dimension. For example, when a circle is treated as a key point, the dimension is measured from the center. If it is treated as an object (not as a key point) by setting the Boolean value to False, then the dimension is measured to the tangent point.
Remarks
This method takes the minimum required data and assumes other data from the defaults set in the collection object.
