UnitsFormat Example

Using Programming Languages other than VBA

Sub Example_UnitsFormat()
   ' This example creates an aligned dimension in model space and
   ' uses UnitsFormat to cycle through some common unit formats
   ' for the dimension

	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) = 0: point1(1) = 5: point1(2) = 0
	point2(0) = 5.12345678: 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)
	ThisDrawing.Application.ZoomAll

	' Cycle through common unit formats

	dimObj.UnitsFormat = acDimLScientific	 ' Change format to Scientific
	ThisDrawing.Regen acAllViewports
	MsgBox "The dimension units are now set to Scientific"

	dimObj.UnitsFormat = acDimLDecimal		' Change format to Decimal
	ThisDrawing.Regen acAllViewports
	MsgBox "The dimension units are now set to Decimal"

	dimObj.UnitsFormat = acDimLArchitectural  ' Change format to Architectural
	ThisDrawing.Regen acAllViewports
	MsgBox "The dimension units are now set to Architectural"

	dimObj.UnitsFormat = acDimLWindowsDesktop ' Change format to WindowsDesktop
	ThisDrawing.Regen acAllViewports
	MsgBox "The dimension units are now set to Windows Desktop"

End Sub
