Parameters

Name Type Description
TextOrigin Point2d Input Point2d object that specifies the position of the dimension text on sheet.
IntentOne GeometryIntent Input GeometryIntent object that specifies the first geometry to dimension. The GeometryIntent object can be created using the CreateGeometryIntent method on the Sheet object.
IntentTwo Variant Optional input GeometryIntent object that specifies the second geometry to dimension. If three point intents are provided, this input indicates the apex point of the angle. The GeometryIntent object can be created using the CreateGeometryIntent method on the Sheet object.

This is an optional argument whose default value is null.
IntentThree Variant Optional input GeometryIntent object that specifies the third geometry to dimension. This argument must be specified if the first and second geometry intents are points.The GeometryIntent object can be created using the CreateGeometryIntent method on the Sheet object.

This is an optional argument whose default value is null.
HideSecondArrowhead Boolean Optional input Boolean that specifies whether hide the second arrowhead of the dimension.

This is an optional argument whose default value is False.

This is an optional argument whose default value is True.
OppositeAngle Boolean Optional input Boolean that indicates whether to dimension the opposite angle. If not specified, the argument defaults to False.

This is an optional argument whose default value is False.
DimensionStyle Variant Optional input DimensionStyle object that specifies the dimension style to use for the dimension. If not specified, the style defined by the active standard is used.

This is an optional argument whose default value is null.
Layer Variant Optional input Layer object that specifies the layer to use for the dimension. If not specified, the layer defined by the active standard is used.
