TangentDistanceDimConstraint Object

Derived from: DimensionConstraint Object

Description

The TangentDistanceDimConstraint object represents a constraint that controls the distance to a circle or arc at the tangent location.

Methods

Name Description
Delete Method that deletes the constraint.
GetReferenceKey Method that generates and returns the reference key for this entity.

Properties

Name Description
AnchorPoints Gets the anchor points of dimension.
Application Returns the top-level parent application object. When used the context of Inventor, an Application object is returned. When used in the context of Apprentice, an ApprenticeServer object is returned.
AttributeSets Property that returns the AttributeSets collection object associated with this object.
DimensionCenterPoint Gets the center of the dimension line.
Driven Gets and sets whether this dimension constraint is driving the geometry or the geometry is defining the value associated with the constraint.
EntityOne Property that returns the first circle or line being constrained.
EntityTwo Property that returns the second circle or line being constrained.
LinearDiameter Property that returns whether the dimension is a linear diameter style of dimension. Returns True if it is a linear diameter dimension.
Parameter Property that returns the parameter associated with this dimension constraint. If the Driven property of the constraint is True, this will return a ReferenceParameter object. Otherwise it will return a ModelParameter object.
Parent Property that returns the parent sketch of the object.
ProximityPointOne The point supplied by this argument is used when EntityOne is a circle or arc. This point specifies which of the possible two tangent cases is used when creating the constraint. The closest tangent to the input point is used. If EntityOne is a line, this argument is ignored.
ProximityPointTwo The point supplied by this argument is used when EntityTwo is a circle or arc. This point specifies which of the possible two tangent cases is used when creating the constraint. The closest tangent to the input point is used. If EntityTwo is a line, this argument is ignored.
TextPoint Gets and sets the position of the dimension text.
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.
