vertical dimension text display
vertical dimension text display
hello,
i'm trying to create vertical dimension by creating an oddbrotateddimension object and using the "setrotation" method. a problem occurs when the dimension is rotated vertically - the dimension text is not displayed properly.
can anybody help me with this, i think that a specific setting must be done, but i cannot find the proper one(system variable or method).
thanks!
what does mean "not displayed properly"?
for example, following code
oddbdatabase* pdb = getdocument();
oddbblocktablerecordptr pms = pdb->getmodelspaceid().openobject(oddb::kforwrite);
oddbrotateddimensionptr protdim = oddbrotateddimension::createobject();
protdim->setdatabasedefaults(pdb);
protdim->setdimlinepoint(odgepoint3d(6.9, 9.0, 0.0));
protdim->setxline1point(odgepoint3d(12.3, 16.0, 0.0));
protdim->setxline2point(odgepoint3d(8.0, 9.0, 0.0));
protdim->setrotation(odapi2);
pms->appendoddbentity(protdim);
inserted to cdwgview:neditrundebugcommand() creates vertical dimension looking same with one generated by autocad with such input data. (input data is fitted for default english settings).
sincerely yours,

thank you for your help.

creating a rotated dimension with a dimension style with, or dimension style override of, dimtih=0 (dimension text inside the dimension lines) and/or dimtoh=0 (dimension text outside the dimension lines), your text will be alligned with the dimension line.
