OrdinateDimensionSets.Add Method

Description

Method that creates an ordinate dimension set and returns the newly created OrdinateDimensionSet object.

Remarks

The value kAlignedDimensionType of the DimensionType parameter can be specified only if the first geometry specified in the input GeometryIntents collection represents a line which is not parallel to the x or y axes of the sheet. If kAlignedDimensionType is specified, the placement point decides the orientation of the dimension set as demonstrated in the picture below.

Syntax

OrdinateDimensionSets.Add( GeometryIntents As ObjectCollection, PlacementPoint As Point2d, DimensionType As DimensionTypeEnum, [DimensionStyle] As Variant, [Layer] As Variant ) As OrdinateDimensionSet

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
GeometryIntents	ObjectCollection	Input ObjectCollection containing GeometryIntent objects. The GeometryIntent objects specify the geometries to use for the dimension. The first geometry in the collection is assumed to be the origin. A GeometryIntent object can be created using the Sheet.CreateGeometryIntent method.
PlacementPoint	Point2d	Input Point2d object that specifies the placement point of the dimension set on the sheet.
DimensionType	DimensionTypeEnum	' Input DimensionTypeEnum that specifies the dimension type. Valid values kHorizontalDimensionType, kVerticalDimensionType and kAlignedDimensionType. See Remarks.
DimensionStyle	Variant	Optional input DimensionStyle object that specifies the dimension style to use for the dimension. If not specified, the style defined by the active standard is used. This is an optional argument whose default value is null.
Layer	Variant	Optional input Layer object that specifies the layer to use for the dimension. If not specified, the layer defined by the active standard is used. This is an optional argument whose default value is null.
