Change the Width and Height of a Sheet by Inventor API

By Barbara Han

To set a sheet to a specific width and height, directly writing the width and height property of the sheet will not work if you don’t specify the size property kCustomDrawingSheetSize from DrawingSheetSizeEnum in advance.

Here is a VB.NET sample code demonstrating how to do that:

Sub setSheetSize()
        Dim st As Sheet
        Dim dw As DrawingDocument
        dw = Thisapplication.ActiveDocument

        st = dw.ActiveSheet
        Dim w As Double
        w = st.Width / 2

        Dim h As Double
        h = st.Height / 2

        st.Size = DrawingSheetSizeEnum.kCustomDrawingSheetSize

        st.Height = h
        st.Width = w
    End Sub
