Accesses the "height of opening" in the dimension's text

[Miha Nahtigal]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to access the height of opening in text of dimension info and add there some text (in addition to the text that already there).

Adding 3 pictures to show what I mean

Adding Configuration image, and before and after images

Thanks

On sections there is a special element type called API_SectElemType. This is the section representation of an elem. You can get the original elem guid by accessing the parameters of the section element. Something like this:

API_Element element = {};
element.header.guid = sectionElementGuid;
ACAPI_Element_Get (&element);
APIGuid originalElemGuid = element.sectElem.parentGuid;
// now the originalElemGuid contains the real element guid
