Examples

VBA:

Sub Example_AddDim3PointAngular()
    ' This example creates a Dim3PointAngular object in model space
    
    Dim DimPointAngularObj As AcadDim3PointAngular
    Dim AngleVertex(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim FirstPoint(0 To 2) As Double, SecondPoint(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim TextPoint(0 To 2) As Double
    
    ' Define the new Dim3PointAngular object
    AngleVertex(0) = 0: AngleVertex(1) = 0: AngleVertex(2) = 0
    FirstPoint(0) = 2: FirstPoint(1) = 2: FirstPoint(2) = 0
    SecondPoint(0) = 2: SecondPoint(1) = 4: SecondPoint(2) = 0
    TextPoint(0) = 6: TextPoint(1) = 6: TextPoint(2) = 0

    ' Create the new Dim3PointAngular object in model space
    Set DimPointAngularObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddDim3PointAngular(AngleVertex, FirstPoint, SecondPoint, TextPoint)
    ThisDrawing.Application.ZoomAll
    
    MsgBox "A Dim3PointAngular object has been created."
