Check if Dimension is horizontal or vertical Orientation via API

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

is there a quick way to check, if a linear dimension is horizontal or vertical?

Maybe via the text orientation?

Yes, you can check if

LinearGeneralDimension.DimensionType = kVerticalDimension / kHorizontalDimension

if this does not work out you could check the dim.IntentOne or dim.IntentTwo and see if the difference in PointOnSheet X/Y corresponds to the modelvalue of the dimension
