Examples

VBA:

Sub Example_TextPrecision()
    ' This example creates a Dim3PointAngular object in model space and
    ' uses the TextPrecision property to set the precision of
    ' the dimension text to 4 decimal places

    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) = 1: 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

    ' Read and display current dimension text precision
    MsgBox "The dimension text precision is currently set to: " & DimPointAngularObj.TextPrecision

    ' Increase the distance of the dimension gap
    DimPointAngularObj.TextPrecision = acDimPrecisionFour
    ThisDrawing.Regen acAllViewports
    
    ' Read and display current dimension text precision
    MsgBox "The dimension text precision is now set to: " & DimPointAngularObj.TextPrecision
    
End Sub
