IManagedLinearGeneralDimension AddArcLengthForeshortened( string name, LinearDimensionTextPositionSpec textOrigin, GeometryIntent intentOne, GeometryIntent intentTwo = null, GeometryIntent intentThree = null, GeometryIntent virtualArcPosition = null, bool hideSecondArrowhead = false, bool useQuadrant = true, bool oppositeAngle = false, DimensionStyle dimensionStyle = null, Layer layer = null )
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. - intentTwo (Optional)
- Type: GeometryIntent
Specifies the second geometry to dimension. If three point intents are provided, this input indicates the apex point of the angle. Default: Nothing - intentThree (Optional)
- Type: GeometryIntent
Specifies the third geometry to dimension. This argument must be specified if the first and second geometry intents are points. Default: Nothing - virtualArcPosition (Optional)
- Type: GeometryIntent
Specifies the virtual arc’s position for dimension. Default: Nothing - hideSecondArrowhead (Optional)
- Type: System.Boolean
Specifies whether to hide the second arrowhead of the dimension. Default: False. - useQuadrant (Optional)
- Type: System.Boolean
Optional input Boolean that indicates whether to use the quadrant in which the input text point lies to decide which angle to dimension. If not specified, the argument defaults to True. If a single (arc) intent is provided as input, this argument is ignored and assumed to be False. - oppositeAngle (Optional)
- Type: System.Boolean
Optional input Boolean that indicates whether to dimension the opposite angle. If not specified, the argument defaults to False. - dimensionStyle (Optional)
- Type: DimensionStyle
Specifies the dimension style to use for the dimension. If not specified, the style defined by the active standard is used. - layer (Optional)
- Type: Layer
Specifies the layer to use for the dimension. If not specified, the layer defined by the active standard is used.
Return Value
Type: IManagedLinearGeneralDimensionThe dimension.
