The DimensionLink type exposes the following members.

Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() | DimensionLink |
Creates a new DimensionLink instance.
|

Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() | Attributes |
Gets or sets the attributes of the current object.
Only attributes of the same type as the object are allowed.
(Inherited from DrawingObject.) |
![]() | QueryReturnValue |
Status information about the latest database operation (select, insert, modify, delete).
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |

Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() | Delete |
Unlinks the dimensions in the current drawing.
(Overrides DatabaseObjectDelete.) |
![]() | GetDimension1 |
Gets the first one of the linked dimensions.
|
![]() | GetDimension2 |
Gets the second one of the linked dimensions.
|
![]() | GetDoubleUserProperties(DictionaryString, Double) |
Retrieves all double user properties for the object with the given list of names.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | GetDoubleUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, Double) |
Retrieves all double user properties for the object with the given list of names.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | GetDrawing |
Gets the drawing where the drawing object is.
(Inherited from DrawingObject.) |
![]() | GetIntegerUserProperties(DictionaryString, Int32) |
Retrieves all integer user properties for the object with the given list of names.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | GetIntegerUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, Int32) |
Retrieves all integer user properties for the object with the given list of names.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | GetRelatedObjects |
Gets the related objects of the current object.
(Inherited from DrawingObject.) |
![]() | GetRelatedObjects(Type) |
Gets the related objects of the current object that are of certain types.
(Inherited from DrawingObject.) |
![]() | GetStringUserProperties(DictionaryString, String) |
Retrieves all string user properties for the object with the given list of names.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | GetStringUserProperties(ListString, DictionaryString, String) |
Retrieves all string user properties for the object with the given list of names.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | GetUserProperty(String, Double) |
Gets a double property from the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before
the method can be used.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | GetUserProperty(String, Int32) |
Gets an integer property from the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before
the method can be used.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | GetUserProperty(String, String) |
Gets a string property from the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before
the method can be used.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | GetView |
Gets the view where the drawing object is.
(Inherited from DrawingObject.) |
![]() | Insert |
Links the dimensions in the drawing.
(Overrides DatabaseObjectInsert.) |
![]() | IsEqual |
Compares the current object with an object of the same type.
(Overrides DrawingObjectIsEqual(Object).) |
![]() | IsSameDatabaseObject |
Returns true if the current object and the given object are referencing the same database object.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | Modify |
NOT YET IMPLEMENTED.
(Overrides DatabaseObjectModify.) |
![]() | Select |
Selects the drawing DimensionLink from the current drawing database.
(Overrides DatabaseObjectSelect.) |
![]() | SetUserProperty(String, Double) |
Sets a double property for the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before
the method can be used.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | SetUserProperty(String, Int32) |
Sets an integer property for the drawing object. The object has to be in a drawing before
the method can be used.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | SetUserProperty(String, String) |

the method can be used.
(Inherited from DatabaseObject.) |
![]() | ToString |
Changes the string presentation of the drawing object.
(Inherited from DrawingObject.) |

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(); } } }
