object.CopyFrom SourceObject

Object

DimStyle, Layout, PlotConfiguration object
The object or objects this property applies to.

SourceObject

The source object to be copied; input only

Layout and PlotConfiguration objects: The source object must be a PlotConfiguration object.

DimStyle objects: The source object must be either a DimStyle, Document, Dim3PointAngular, DimAngular, DimDiametric, DimOrdinate, DimRadial, DimRotated, Tolerance, or Leader.

Remarks

DimStyle: This method allows users to copy dimension style data into an existing dimstyle from three different types of sources.

1. If SourceObject is a dimension (this includes all dimension objects), Tolerance, or Leader object, this method copies the style for that object plus any object overrides.

2. If SourceObject is a DimStyle object, this method copies the style data from that dimension style.

3. If SourceObject is a Document object, this method copies the active dimension style settings for the drawing plus any drawing overrides.
