Measurement Dimensions from GDL

Anonymous — Mon, 29 Feb 2016 05:43:56 GMT

Hello,

Wondering if I can drawn dimensions using the Dimension Tool from a GDL script (2D only)?
I haven't been able to find any info from google searches, but I'm thinking this must be possible.

If it's not possible ill manually draw the dimension lines (line2, text2, arc2, etc) in order to have a dimensioned 2D object, but obviously if this can be avoided it'd be awesome (my object is already complex enough @ 2100 lines of code, haha.)

You will have to do it with lines and text unfortunately.
There are no dimension commands in GDL.
Make sure you create the witness line and marker as a GOSUB routine.

Thanks Barry, I thought as much, but figured I better ask here in case someone knew a trick that i couldn't find online.
Will definitely write it as a gosub as per your advice
