DimensionConstraints.AddThreePointAngle Method

Description

Method that creates a new angular dimension constraint between three points.

Remarks

The position of the text point defines which of the four quadrants the constraint is placed within. The picture below illustrates the result of adding a three-point angle dimension constraint.

The General Dimension command allows you to place a dimension controlling the sweep angle of an arc by selecting the arc and the center point. This results in a three point angle dimension constraint being placed between the two sketch points at the end of the arc and the sketch point at the center. This results in a dimension like that shown below.

Syntax

DimensionConstraints.AddThreePointAngle( PointOne As SketchPoint, PointTwo As SketchPoint, PointThree As SketchPoint, TextPoint As Point2d, [Driven] As Boolean ) As ThreePointAngleDimConstraint

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
PointOne	SketchPoint	Input sketch point.
PointTwo	SketchPoint	Input sketch point. This point defines the vertex point of the angle.
PointThree	SketchPoint	Input sketch point.
TextPoint	Point2d	Input object that defines the position of the dimension text and which of the four possible quadrants to place the dimension within.
Driven	Boolean	Optional input Boolean that specifies whether the dimension should be a driven or driving dimension. The default value is False, which causes a driving dimension constraint to be created. This is an optional argument whose default value is False.
