how to get dimension?

is this possible?

Sorry, I'm not following what you're asking. The dimension the diagram seems to be asking for is labeled "3 inches", so you know that value... Perhaps if you posted a link to a public document with a custom feature that's producing something close and a sketch that is what you want, we would be able to help better.

It's not entirely clear what you're trying to do. evDistance will give you any measurement you need. If that's not what you're looking for, please explain the purpose of the feature you're creating and we may be able to suggest a way.

the 3" varies and depends from point to converted line, 
the 1" is fixed dim.
and the 4" varies and depends on the first dim (3").
this can be skrectangle or sklinesegment.

NeilCooke

So are the 3 blue lines all the same length?

papawo

the top blue line is fixed dim and not the same length as the 2 vertical line.  it can be any dim from the point.

NeilCooke

So evDistance will give you the distance between the point and the line, then you have the coordinate of the bottom left corner, relative to the point.

Thats my problem, I dont know how to use evDistance.

NeilCooke

var distance = evDistance(context, { "side0" : <query for point>, "side1" : <query for line> }).distance;

if you don't know how to query the point and the line, you'll have to share your script.

definition.line and definition.pt are already queries so no need to query them again.

var distance = evDistance(context, { "side0" : definition.pt , "side1" : definition.line }).distance<span>;</span>

ok thanks
