obj = ADIM/[MAJOR,](origin),"PMOD3",line1,[VIEW,'View Name',]"PMOD3",line2[,VIEW,'View Name'][,Dim. text][,APPEND,App. text]
Creates an angular dimension between two previously defined lines. The minor angle is measured and displayed in the work coordinate system counterclockwise from the end of the first line to the end of the second line.
If you specify the minor word MAJOR, the opposite portion of the angle (360 minus minor) is dimensioned. Since the default is the minor portion, you do not need to use the minor word MINOR.
Parameter |
Description |
MAJOR |
An optional minor word which indicates that the major angle between the two lines is to be dimensioned. If omitted, the default is to the minor angle. |
(origin) |
The dimensional text location. For the methods of specification, see the Dimension Statements overview. |
Determines which end of the line is to be dimensioned. | |
line1,line2 |
The two existing lines to be dimensioned. |
VIEW |
Minor word that indicates that a view name is to follow. |
'View Name' |
This is a string variable or literal that is the view name. |
Dim. text |
A string of up to 50 characters you may enter if the system generated value and text are not desirable. You can enter the desired dimension and/or text between single quotes ('dimension text'), or you can use a previously declared string variable. |
APPEND |
Minor word which indicates that the text in the next field should be appended to the dimension text. |
App text |
Text string which is appended to the dimension text (APPEND,'string','string'...). Each string constitutes a new line and may contain a maximum of 132 characters. The maximum number of characters which may be appended to a dimension is 600. The placement of appended text is controlled by the global parameter &APSITE. |
