Examples

VBA:

Sub Example_DimLineSuppress()
   ' This example creates a Radial Dimension in model space and
   ' uses the DimLineSuppress property to toggle the display
   ' of the dimension lines

    Dim dimObj As AcadDimRadial
    Dim center(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim chordPoint(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim leaderLen As Integer
    
    ' Define the dimension
    center(0) = 0: center(1) = 0: center(2) = 0
    chordPoint(0) = 5: chordPoint(1) = 5: chordPoint(2) = 0
    leaderLen = 5
    
    ' Create the radial dimension in model space
    Set dimObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddDimRadial(center, chordPoint, leaderLen)
    ThisDrawing.Application.ZoomAll
    
    MsgBox "The radial dimension has been created.", vbInformation
    
    dimObj.DimLineSuppress = Not (dimObj.DimLineSuppress)
    ThisDrawing.Application.ZoomAll
    
    MsgBox "The radial dimension appearance has been modified.", vbInformation
