DrawingCoordDim (Object)

Represents a drawing Coordinate Dimension in a drawing view.

Properties


Property Angle() As
Returns or sets the angle of the drawing coordinate dimension. The angle is measured between the axis system of the drawing view and the local axis system of the drawing coordinate dimension. The angle is measured in radians and is counted counterclockwise.
Example:
This example sets the angle of the MyCoordDim drawing Text to 90 degrees clockwise. You first need to compute the angle in degrees and set the minus sign to indicate the rotation is clockwise.
 Angle90Clockwise = -90
 MyCoordDim.Angle = Angle90Clockwise
 
Property TextProperties() As (Read Only)
Returns the text properties of the drawing coordinate dimension.
Example:
This example retrieves in TextProperties the text properties of the MyCoordDim drawing coordinate dimension..
 Dim TextProperties As DrawingTextProperties
 Set TextProperties = MyCoordDim.TextProperties
 
Property x() As
Returns or sets the x coordinate of the drawing coordinate dimension. It is expressed with respect to the current view coordinate system. This coordinate, like any length, is measured in millimeters.
Example:
This example retrieves in X the x coordinate of the MyCoordDim drawing coordinate dimension.
 X = MyCoordDim.x
 
Property y() As
Returns or sets the y coordinate of the drawing coordinate dimension. It is expressed with respect to the current view coordinate system. This coordinate, like any length, is measured in millimeters.
Example:
This example sets the y coordinate of the MyCoordDim drawing coordinate dimension to 5 inches. You need first to convert the 5 inches into millmeters.
 NewYCoordinate = 5*25.4/1000
 MyCoordDim.y = NewYCoordinate
 

Methods


Sub GetCoordValues( oType, oX, oY, oZ)
Returns the value of the drawing coordinate dimension.
Parameters:
oType
oType (0: 2D coordinate dimension, 1: 3D coordinate dimension).
oX
X value.
oY
Y value.
oZ
Z value (=0. if 2D coordinate dimension).
Example:
This example gets the type, x, y and z of the MyCoordDim drawing CoordDim
 MyCoordDim.GetCoordValues(oType, oX, oY, oZ)
