AcDbRotatedDimension does not have ExtLine1Point property?
« on: January 31, 2013, 04:56:47 AM »
I am looking into manipulating AcDbRotatedDimension objects using 'Visual' Lisp. But I notice that the ExtLine1Point property and  ExtLine2Point property are not available for these objects. Does anyone know the reason for this?

The Developer Documentation for a DimRotated Object says:

Quote from: VLIDE Docs for DimRotated Object
To change the extension lines of a rotated dimension, change the Rotation and/or TextPosition properties.
The extension lines will be recalculated to fit the new requirements.

... I can't think of a logical reason for not exposing of these properties.
BTW: BricsCAD is compatible here...

Me neither - might be easier to delete/recreate the DimRotated Object, matching all other properties.
