AngleFormat Property (ActiveX)

Specifies the unit format for angular dimensions.

Supported platforms: Windows only

Signature

VBA:

object.AngleFormat

object

Type: Dim3PointAngular, DimAngular

The objects this property applies to.

Property Value

Read-only: No

Type: acAngleUnits enum

• acDegrees
• acDegreeMinuteSeconds
• acGrads
• acRadians

Remarks

The initial value for this property is acDegrees.

Note: This property overrides the value of the DIMAUNIT system variable for the given dimension.

Examples

VBA:

Sub Example_AngleFormat()
    ' This example creates a Dim3PointAngular object in model space
    ' and sets its Angle Format to some common values
    
    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

    ' Cycle through some common angle formats
    
    DimPointAngularObj.AngleFormat = acDegreeMinuteSeconds
    ThisDrawing.Regen acAllViewports
    MsgBox "The angle format of the new Dim3PointAngular object is now set to degree/minute/second"
    
    DimPointAngularObj.AngleFormat = acGrads
    ThisDrawing.Regen acAllViewports
    MsgBox "The angle format of the new Dim3PointAngular object is now set to grads"

    DimPointAngularObj.AngleFormat = acRadians
    ThisDrawing.Regen acAllViewports
    MsgBox "The angle format of the new Dim3PointAngular object is now set to radians"

End Sub
