AltToleranceSuppressLeadingZeros Example

Using Programming Languages other than VBA

Sub Example_AltToleranceSuppressLeadingZeros()
   ' This example creates an aligned dimension in model space and
   ' uses AltToleranceSuppressLeadingZeros to toggle the display of leading zeros
   ' in the alternate dimension tolerance display

	Dim dimObj As AcadDimAligned
	Dim point1(0 To 2) As Double, point2(0 To 2) As Double
	Dim location(0 To 2) As Double

	' Define the dimension
	point1(0) = 5: point1(1) = 5: point1(2) = 0
	point2(0) = 5.01: point2(1) = 5: point2(2) = 0
	location(0) = 5: location(1) = 7: location(2) = 0

	' Create an aligned dimension object in model space
	Set dimObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddDimAligned(point1, point2, location)

	' Set up alternate unit tolerance display
	dimObj.AltUnits = True
	dimObj.ToleranceDisplay = acTolLimits

	ThisDrawing.Application.ZoomAll

Toggle:
	Select Case MsgBox("Press OK to toggle the display of leading zeros in the alternate dimension tolerance", vbOKCancel)
		Case vbOK
			' Toggle the display of leading zeros for the alternate dimension tolerance value
			dimObj.AltToleranceSuppressLeadingZeros = Not (dimObj.AltToleranceSuppressLeadingZeros)
			ThisDrawing.Regen acAllViewports
		Case vbCancel
			Exit Sub
	End Select

	GoTo Toggle
