overlapping Texts in Dimensions

[Anonymous]

hi,
I need to reposition the dimension text while i am using dimaligned.By default, the text position is at the center of dimension line.
The simplified version of my probem is when dimensioning between opposite corners of a rectangle, the two dimension texts will overlap each other. I need to avoid that.

Although i can use: dimaligned.testPosition but it is difficult to calculate the new position, NewTextPosition should remain alighned with dimensionline

The only why i can find is calcluate vectors between startPt & EndPt of each dimension and then move text in the direction of vector. I dont know if it will work or not.

Has some one got any ideas or code please.

ExtLine1Point and ExtLine2Point are Variant Arrays containing your WCS coords... Test your TextPoints aganist these or vice versa...
