Diameter

Synopsis

obj = DDIM/(origin),arc[,VIEW,'View Name'][,Dim. text][,APPEND,App. text]

Description

Creates a dimension which represents the diameter of a circle. Two arrows are created whether the text is inside or outside the circle. This differs from the hole dimension (HDIM) which creates only one arrow.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

(origin)

The dimensional text location. For the methods of specification, see the Dimension Statements overview.

Arc

The existing arc 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.
