Options

• :DIM_LIST specifies the dimension to modify. This can be used with the Select tool for multiple selection of dimensions.
• :C_FRAME sets the new type of frame to be drawn around all dimension text.
• :ORIENTATION sets the new orientation of dimension text relative to the dimension line:
  • :PARALLEL draws text parallel to the dimension line.
  • :PERPENDICULAR draws text perpendicular to the dimension line.
  • :HORIZONTAL draws dimension text horizontally.
  • :VERTICAL draws dimension text vertically.
• :C_ANGLE specifies the absolute angle at which dimension text should be drawn, measured from the dimension line to the text baseline.
• :LOCATION sets the position of the dimension text relative to the dimension line:
  • :ABOVE places the dimension text above the dimension line.
  • :ON places the dimension text on the broken dimension line.
  • :BELOW places the dimension text below the dimension line.
• :RATIO sets the new width-to-height ratio of the dimension text characters.
• :SLANT sets the new slant angle of the dimension text characters. A positive angle, measured from the vertical, slants characters to the right.
• :COLOR_RGB sets the color of all dimensioning text. It automatically calls up the GET_RGB_COLOR_SA subaction. Use this subaction to specify the new RGB or HSL color.
• :FONT1B determines the new 1-Byte dimension text font. Valid font names, entered within double quotes (" "), are those for fonts already loaded into Annotation.
• :FONT2B determines the new 2-Byte dimension text font. Valid font names, entered within double quotes (" "), are those for fonts already loaded into Annotation.
