IManagedLinearGeneralDimension AddLinear(
	string name,
	LinearDimensionTextPositionSpec textOrigin,
	GeometryIntent intentOne,
	GeometryIntent intentTwo = null,
	DimensionTypeEnum dimensionType = DimensionTypeEnum.kAlignedDimensionType,

Parameters

name

Type: System.String
The name of the dimension.

textOrigin

Type: Autodesk.iLogic.Types.LinearDimensionTextPositionSpec
The position of the dimension text on the sheet.

intentOne

Type: GeometryIntent
Specifies the first geometry to dimension. This can be created using the GetIntent method on the IManagedDrawingView object.

intentTwo (Optional)

Type: GeometryIntent
Specifies the second geometry to dimension. This argument must be specified if the first geometry intent is a point.

dimensionType (Optional)

Type: DimensionTypeEnum
Specifies the linear dimension type. Valid values (based on the input intents) are kAlignedDimensionType, kHorizontalDimensionType, kVerticalDimensionType, kArcLengthDimensionType, kSymmetricDimensionType and kDiametricDimensionType. If not specified, the argument defaults to kAlignedDimensionType. An error will occur if the specified type is invalid for the input intents. For instance, kHorizontalDimensionType is invalid for a vertical dimension and kSymmetricDimensionType and kDiametricDimensionType are invalid if only the first intent (an edge) is specified. kArcLengthDimensionType is only valid if two intents are supplied and they represent end points of an arc or a single intent is supplied and it represents an arc.

alignmentGeometry (Optional)

Type: System.Object
The linear geometry object to align the dimension. Valid objects are DrawingCurve and SketchLine in the same DrawingView as the dimension. This is only applicable if the DimensionType is set to kAlignedToCurveDimensionType or kNormalToCurveDimensionType.

arrowHeadsInside (Optional)

Type: System.Boolean
Indicates whether to place the dimension line arrows inside or outside. If not specified, this argument defaults to True indicating that arrowheads will be placed inside (if possible).

dimensionStyle (Optional)

Type: DimensionStyle
The dimension style to use for the dimension. If not specified, the style defined by the active standard is used.

layer (Optional)

Type: Layer
The layer to use for the dimension. If not specified, the layer defined by the active standard is used.
