Summary

Returns all angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects whose Dimension Text Position property complies with the Query.

Syntax

DimensionTextPosition = DimensionTextPosition_String
DimensionTextPosition <> DimensionTextPosition_String

DimensionTextPosition_String must be one of the strings from the following list:

  • 'Aligned - Bottom'
  • 'Aligned - Center'
  • 'Aligned - Inside Left'
  • 'Aligned - Inside Right'
  • 'Aligned - Left'
  • 'Aligned - Right'
  • 'Aligned - Top'
  • 'Automatic'
  • 'Manual'
  • 'Unidirectional'

Example Usage

DimensionTextPosition = 'Automatic'
Returns all angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects whose Dimension Text Position property is Automatic.

DimensionTextPosition <> 'Manual'
Returns all objects except angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects whose Dimension Text Position property is Manual.

Tips

  1. The single quote characters (') at the start and end of DimensionTextPosition_String are mandatory.
  2. The Dimension Text Position property is only defined for angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects.
  3. The child objects of angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects returned by the Query, are not returned.
