Creating AC Dimension from Grasshopper

Hi,

I am pretty new to Archicad but am helping a client automate workflows via the Grasshopper connection. I have been searching for a way to create dimensions in AC visa Grasshopper but the toolset doesn't seem to have this functionality?

Is there something simple that I have missed? Seems like core function but the I can only see 4 tools for the 2d document side of things. I can explode dimension into text an lines in Grasshopper and get the information into AC that way, but seems pretty dumb. Any help would be much appreciated.

Using AC27 3001 and the latest Grasshopper link for that version.

Operating system used: Windows 11

The Grasshopper connection is not really made for documenting 🤔

Instead it is more of a tool for modeling purposes.

Thanks for your reply, although very disappointed. Feels like Graphisoft is missing the point of automation.

I'll have to explode the dims in GH to lines and text and use that as a workaround.
