This mixin provides all of the common attributes for all dimension designs with "inked" objects.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| dimText | string | The string that should appear as the dimension text. You can incorporate the measured dimension in the text by placing <> where you want it to appear. The default value is "<>". |
| dimPrecision | integer | The number of digits that should appear after the decimal point. The default value depends on the dimension type (e.g. diametral, linear, radial, angular) and in some cases the dimension units (e.g. metric) or dimension format (e.g. fractional, radians). |
| dimFormat | name | Format for linear dimensions. Default is :Decimal. Choices include :Scientific, :Decimal, :Engineering, :Architectural, and :Fractional. |
| dimLinearMultiplier | number | Default is 1.0. |
| dimPrefix | string | String that precedes the dimension. Default is "". |
| dimSuffix | string | String that follows the dimension. Default is "". |
| dimAngularFormat | name | Format for Angular dimensions. Default is :Degrees. |
| dimUnits | name | Units for the dimension. The default is :Default - meaning that the units defined for the project are used. Choices include :Default, :Metric, and :English. |
| dimTextMultiLine? | boolean | Sets whether the dimension text can span more than one line. Default is False . |
| dimTextMultiLineWidth | number | Used if dimTextMultiLine? is True. Default is charHeight * 30. |
| dimTextMultiLineJustification | name | Used if dimTextMultiLine? is True . Default is :Center. |
| dimAlternate? | boolean | Sets whether alternate dimension text should appear. Default is False . |
| dimAlternateMultiplier | string | The string that should appear as the alternate dimension text. Default is "[]". |
| dimAlternatePrecision | integer | The number of digits that should appear after the decimal point. The default value depends on the dimension type (e.g. diametral, linear, radial, angular) and in some cases the dimension units (e.g. metric) or dimension format (e.g. fractional, radians). |
| dimAlternateFormat | name | Format for linear dimensions. Default is :Decimal. Choices include :Scientific, :Decimal, :Engineering, :Architectural, and :Fractional. |
| dimAlternatePrefix | string | String that precedes the alternate dimension. Default is "". |
| dimAlternateSuffix | string | String that follows the alternate dimension. Default is "". |
| dimAlternateAngularFormat | name | Default is :Degrees. Choices include :Degrees, :DegreesMinutes, :DegreesMinutesSeconds, and :Radians. |
| dimAlternateUnits | name | Units for the dimension if dimAlternate? is True . The default is :Default - meaning that the units defined for the project are used. Choices include :Default, :Metric, and :English. |
| dimAlternateBrackets? | boolean | Determines whether alternate dimension appears in brackets. Default is True . |
| dimAlternateLocation | name | Location for Alternate text relative. Default is :After. Choices are :After or :Below. |
| textBox? | boolean | Specifies whether a box is placed around the text. Default is False . |
| textGap | number | The distance the dimension lines are spaced away from the dimension text block. The default value is the extensionLineGap / 2. |
| textColor | string | Color for text. Default is color. |
| textAlignment | name | Horizontal alignment for text. Default is :Aligned. Choices include :Horizontal and :Aligned. |
| textPlacement | name | Horizontal placement for Text. Default is :Centered. Choices include :Centered, :Above, and :Below. |
| extLineGap | number | Distance between end of extension line and referenced points . Default is charHeight. |
| extLineExtension | number | Distance from dimension line to end of the extension line. Default is extLineGap. |
| extLineColor | string | Color for extension lines. Default is color. |
| extLinePattern | string | Line pattern for extension lines. Default is linePattern. |
| extLineWidth | name | Line width to use for extension lines. The default is lineWidth. |
| dimLineColor | string | Color for dimension lines. Default is color. |
| dimLinePattern | string | Line pattern for dimension lines. Default is linePattern. |
| dimLineMinLength | number | Minimum length for dimension lines. |
