Options

• :TYPE1 sets the arrow type for the first dimension point specified.
• :TYPE2 sets the arrow type for the second dimension point specified. When only one dimension point is required, Annotation assigns the arrows automatically.
• :FILLING specifies either filled or outlined arrows.
• :SIZE_ABS sets the absolute size of arrows.
• :SIZE_REL sets the size of arrows relative to the main dimension text size.
• :PLACEMENT specifies the positioning of the dimension arrows:
  • "ARROW_AUTO" places arrows either inside or outside the extension lines, depending on where the dimension text is placed.
  • "ARROW_INSIDE" places the arrows inside the extension lines.
  • "ARROW_OUTSIDE" places the arrows outside the extension lines.
• :COLOR_RGB sets the color of all dimensioning lines and arrows. It automatically calls up the GET_RGB_COLOR_SA subaction. Use this subaction to specify the new RGB or HSL color.
• :PEN_SIZE sets the pen size of the dimension and extension lines.
• :OFFSET_POINT sets the offset of the start of the extension lines from the dimension points.
• :OFFSET_LINE sets the offset of the end of the extension lines from the dimension line.
• :BROKEN_LINE specifies whether or not the dimension line on either side of the extension lines should be connected. This setting is relevant when the dimension text is not placed between the extension lines.
• :EXTENSION_LINE specifies whether or not extension lines are to be drawn.
• :CENTER_LINE specifies whether or not center lines are to be selected by default when creating radius and diameter dimensioning.
