This documentation page references Altium NEXUS/NEXUS Client (part of the deployed NEXUS solution), which has been discontinued. All your PCB design, data management and collaboration needs can now be delivered by Altium Designer and a connected Altium 365 Workspace. Check out the FAQs page for more information.

Parent page: PCB Query Functions - Fields

Summary

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

Syntax

DimensionTextUnit = DimensionUnit_String
DimensionTextUnit <> DimensionUnit_String

For angular dimension objects, DimensionUnit_String must be one of the strings from the following list:

  • 'Degrees'
  • 'Radians'

For baseline dimension, datum dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects, DimensionUnit_String must be one of the strings from the following list:

  • 'Automatic'
  • 'Centimeters'
  • 'Inches'
  • 'Millimeters'
  • 'Mils'

Example Usage

DimensionTextUnit = 'Radians'
Returns all angular dimension objects whose Dimension Unit property is Radians.

DimensionTextUnit <> 'Degrees'
Returns all objects except angular dimension objects whose Dimension Unit property is Degrees.

DimensionTextUnit = 'Mils'
Returns all baseline dimension, datum dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects whose Dimension Unit property is Mils.

DimensionTextUnit <> 'Inches'
Returns all objects except baseline dimension, datum dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects whose Dimension Unit property is Inches.

Tips

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