Topic: Annotative Dimension detection ?

[Spike Wilbury]

I am doing some isometric dimension styles (including the text styles), and want simple to detect if the current or any other dimension style it is annotative...

am not going to work using these type of annotative dims, and also it is the first time that i end up worried about them.

any lead to where to look for?


Thanks!

Was actually simple

Code: [Select]

#region TestDimStyle

        [CommandMethod("TestDimStyle")]
        public static void testDimStyle()
        {
            Document doc = AcadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Editor ed = doc.Editor;
            Database db = doc.Database;
            using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
            {
                DimStyleTable dst;
                dst = tr.GetObject(db.DimStyleTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) as DimStyleTable;
                string dimName = "Standard"; // "Annotative";
                if (dst.Has(dimName) == true)
                {
                    DimStyleTableRecord dstr;
                    dstr = tr.GetObject(dst[dimName], OpenMode.ForRead) as DimStyleTableRecord;
                    if (dstr.Annotative == AnnotativeStates.True)
                        ed.WriteMessage("\nDimension style is annotative!");
                    else
                        ed.WriteMessage("\nDimension style is not annotative!");
                }
                tr.Commit();
            }
        }
