Members

head

General element header.

Composite thickness

defStaticDim

Static dimension (default)?

defWitnessForm

Default witness line format (see API_WitnessID).

defWitnessVal

Default gap (APIWtn_Fix) or length (APIWtn_Large) of witness line according to defWitnessForm.

defNote

Default note parameters (see API_NoteType).

markerData

Marker specification (see API_MarkerData).

ed_arrowFill

Elevation dimension arrow is filled or not.

ed_arrowUp

Elevation dimension arrow is up/down.

ed_needPlus

Elevation dimension plus sign needed for positive numbers.

usedIn3D

Used for dimensioning 3D points.

horizontalText

Dimension texts are horizontal.

onlyDimensionText

Only dimension texts (notes) are visible — no leader line.

ed_origin

Elevation dimension origin./

ed_circleLevelDimensionFill

Elevation dimension: the circle style marker fill.

refC

Dimension line location.

direction

Direction of the dimension line if parallel.

arcBase

Neig & unique ID of the base element for an arc dimension chain.

nDimElem

Number of segments in dimension elements’ chain (see API_ElementMemo)

refC3D

Position of the dimension chain (used only in 3D).

direction3D

Direction of the dimension line (used only in 3D).

normVect3D

dimLayout

Layouting algorithm used by the dimension.

pushNeighborEnabled

Enable a note to push its neighbours (In case of API_Flexible layouting algorithm).

placeUnderEnabled

Try to place a note under the dimension line (In case of API_Flexible layouting algorithm).

advanced

Use advanced logic (In case of API_Centered layouting algorithm).

clipOtherSide

No witness line part on the other side (opposite to basepoint).
