Examples
The following example creates two dimensions in the drawing sheet and links them:
using Tekla.Structures.Drawing;
using Tekla.Structures.Geometry3d;

public class Example
{
       public void Example1()
       {
           DrawingHandler MyDrawingHandler = new DrawingHandler();
           if (MyDrawingHandler.GetConnectionStatus())
           {
               StraightDimension Dimension1 = new StraightDimension(MyDrawingHandler.GetActiveDrawing().GetSheet(),
                   new Point(0, 0, 0), new Point(100, 0, 0), new Vector(0, -1, 0), 100.0);
               StraightDimension Dimension2 = new StraightDimension(MyDrawingHandler.GetActiveDrawing().GetSheet(),
                   new Point(0, 0, 0), new Point(0, 100, 0), new Vector(-1, 0, 0), 100.0);

               Dimension1.Insert();
               Dimension2.Insert();

               StraightDimensionSet DimSet1 = Dimension1.GetDimensionSet() as StraightDimensionSet;
               StraightDimensionSet DimSet2 = Dimension2.GetDimensionSet() as StraightDimensionSet;

               DimensionLink DimLink = new DimensionLink(DimSet1, DimSet2);
               DimLink.Insert();
           }
       }
}
