Topic: Force Text of dimension to be created inside a closed polyline limits

[Coder]

Hello guys.

I am trying to dimension a closed polyline, everything is going well but I need to force the text of dimensions to be inside of polyline.
I have the Centroid point of the polyline if this helps.

Any idea how to control of the Text position?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Chris.

Thanks for your reply, I am attaching a sample drawing.
Sorry for confusion.

This would be my approach:
1.
Check if the polyline is clockwise or not (I think code for that can be found on this forum).
2.
Determine the angle between two consecutive points.
3.
Add or subtract (* 0.5 pi) depending on result from step #1.
4.
Use (polar ...) with a point from step #2 and the angle from step #3 to determine the position of the dimension line.
