Hi, I am trying to write a script placing dimension lines on a Polyline. After DIMALIGNED command, Autocad prompts
Specify first extension line origin or <select object>: 6,1 =>coordinates point1
Specify second extension line origin: 6,3 =>coordinates point 2
Now, comes my mystery.
Specify dimension line location or
[Mtext/Text/Angle]: 0 => whatever I type here does not seem to have a consistent relation with the place the dimension ends located. Autocad help is obscure, and reads:
Dimension Line Location
Uses the point you specify to locate the dimension line and determines the direction to draw the extension lines. After you specify the location, AutoCAD draws the dimension.
Please help.
Thanks,
Luis.
