Creating Dimensions Example

Post by SLMaxwell68 » 01 Sep 2007, 01:39

Using the CAD Import .NET (Pro/Extended) libraries and C#...

Could I please see a brief example on how to create and set a dimension within a dxf drawing utilizing the CADDimension object and it's subsequent style objects?

Thanks in advance,
Scott M.

Hello Scott,

Here goes respective example:

Code: Select all

	<font color="blue">if</font id="blue">(<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.cadImage == null)

		<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.cadImage.UseBufMetafile = <font color="blue">false</font id="blue">;
		<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.cadImage.InitialNewImage();

Hello!

We added new way of creating dimensions:

Code: Select all

...
	CADDimension entDimension = <font color="blue">new</font id="blue"> CADDimension();

	entDimension.Flags = 1;
	entDimension.Color = Color.Bisque;
	entDimension.LinDefPoint1 = <font color="blue">new</font id="blue"> DPoint(0,0,0);
	entDimension.LinDefPoint2 = <font color="blue">new</font id="blue"> DPoint(100,0,0);
	entDimension.DefPoint = <font color="blue">new</font id="blue"> DPoint(100,20,0);			
	entDimension.Style = <font color="blue">new</font id="blue"> CADDimensionStyle();
	entDimension.Style.ArrowSize = 0.5;
	entDimension.Style.TextHeight = 0.5;           

	entDimension.Loaded(<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.cadImage.Converter);
	<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.cadImage.Converter.OnCreate(entDimension);
	<font color="blue">this</font id="blue">.cadImage.CurrentLayout.Entities.Add(entDimension);
