Declaration

public AlignedDimension(Line referenceLine, double offset, Vector3 normal)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Line	referenceLine	Reference Line of the dimension.
System.Double	offset	Distance between the reference line and the dimension line.
Vector3	normal	Normal vector of the plane where the dimension is defined.

Remarks

The reference points define the distance to be measure.

AlignedDimension(Line, Double, Vector3, DimensionStyle)

Initializes a new instance of the AlignedDimension class.

Declaration

public AlignedDimension(Line referenceLine, double offset, Vector3 normal, DimensionStyle style)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Line	referenceLine	Reference Line of the dimension.
System.Double	offset	Distance between the reference line and the dimension line.
Vector3	normal	Normal vector of the plane where the dimension is defined.
DimensionStyle	style	The DimensionStyle to use with the dimension.

Remarks

The reference line define the distance to be measure.

AlignedDimension(Vector2, Vector2, Double)

Initializes a new instance of the AlignedDimension class.

Declaration

public AlignedDimension(Vector2 firstPoint, Vector2 secondPoint, double offset)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector2	firstPoint	First reference Vector2 of the dimension.
Vector2	secondPoint	Second reference Vector2 of the dimension.
System.Double	offset	Distance between the reference line and the dimension line.

Remarks

The reference points define the distance to be measure.

AlignedDimension(Vector2, Vector2, Double, DimensionStyle)

Initializes a new instance of the AlignedDimension class.

Declaration

public AlignedDimension(Vector2 firstPoint, Vector2 secondPoint, double offset, DimensionStyle style)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector2	firstPoint	First reference Vector2 of the dimension.
Vector2	secondPoint	Second reference Vector2 of the dimension.
System.Double	offset	Distance between the reference line and the dimension line.
DimensionStyle	style	The DimensionStyle to use with the dimension.

Remarks

The reference points define the distance to be measure.

Properties

DimLinePosition

Gets the location of the dimension line.

Declaration

public Vector2 DimLinePosition { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector2

FirstReferencePoint

Gets or sets the first definition point of the dimension in OCS (object coordinate system).

Declaration

public Vector2 FirstReferencePoint { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector2

Measurement

Actual measurement.

Declaration

public override double Measurement { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Double

Overrides

Dimension.Measurement

Remarks

The dimension is always measured in the plane defined by the normal.

Offset

Gets or sets the distance between the reference line and the dimension line.

Declaration

public double Offset { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Double

Remarks

The offset value must be equal or greater than zero.
The side at which the dimension line is drawn depends of the direction of its reference line.

SecondReferencePoint

Gets or sets the second definition point of the dimension in OCS (object coordinate system).

Declaration

public Vector2 SecondReferencePoint { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector2

Methods

BuildBlock(String)

Declaration

protected override Block BuildBlock(string name)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	name	Name to be assigned to the generated block.

Returns

Type	Description
Block	The block that represents the actual dimension.

Overrides

Dimension.BuildBlock(String)

CalculateReferencePoints()

Calculate the dimension reference points.

Declaration

protected override void CalculateReferencePoints()

Overrides

Dimension.CalculateReferencePoints()

Clone()

Creates a new AlignedDimension that is a copy of the current instance.

Declaration

public override object Clone()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Object	A new AlignedDimension that is a copy of this instance.

Overrides

EntityObject.Clone()

SetDimensionLinePosition(Vector2)

Calculates the dimension offset from a point along the dimension line.

Declaration

public void SetDimensionLinePosition(Vector2 point)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector2	point	Point along the dimension line.

TransformBy(Matrix3, Vector3)

Moves, scales, and/or rotates the current entity given a 3x3 transformation matrix and a translation vector.

Declaration

public override void TransformBy(Matrix3 transformation, Vector3 translation)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Matrix3	transformation	Transformation matrix.
Vector3	translation	Translation vector.

Overrides

EntityObject.TransformBy(Matrix3, Vector3)

Remarks

Matrix3 adopts the convention of using column vectors to represent a transformation matrix.
