dimension style: "ext line fixed"
dimension style: "ext line fixed"
hi,
i'm not able to find in dwgdirect what corresponds to "ext line length" parameter of autocad dimensions (autocad 2006). i made a dxf to see group codes:
1001
acad_dstyle_dimext_length
1070
378
1040
10.0
...
1001
acad_dstyle_dimext_enabled
1070
383
1070
0
how can i get and set those parameters?
ciao

dimexe dimension variable specifies the distance extension lines extend beyond dimension lines.
dimexo specifies the distance extension are offset from their origin points (specifies a minimum value when fixed-length extension lines are used).
to get/set these variables, use dd functions
oddbdimension::dimdimexe()
oddbdimension::dimdimexo()
oddbdimension::setdimdimexe()
oddbdimension::setdimdimexo()
and same functions of oddbdimstyle and oddbdatabase.
sincerely yours,

hi,
dimexe and dimexo are not what i was searching for. i found these methods in dbdimension.h:
bool oddbdimension::getextlinefixlenenable() const;
void oddbdimension::setextlinefixlenenable(bool extlinefixlenenable);
double oddbdimension::getextlinefixlen() const;
void oddbdimension::setextlinefixlen(double extlinefixlen);
which seem to be the right ones.
ciao
