Getting the exact dimension tool type

[fekste 0]

There is a number of different "dimension types" like unconstrained linear dimension tool or angular dimension tool. I am trying to get the exact type of the dimension object (not just 63 - "dimHeaderNode")

 

size_t typeN = gSDK->GetObjectTypeN(obj1); //returns 63 - dimHeaderNode

The reason I am doing this is the possibility to recreate the dimension later with one of the following functions:

gSDK->CreateLinearDimension()
gSDK->CreateCircularDimension()
gSDK->CreateAngleDimension()
gSDK->CreateChainDimension()

Basically what I would like to know is if the given object is a linear, circular, angle or chain dimension.

The dimension type can be found via following function:

gSDK->GetObjectVariable(dimObject, ovDimClass, TVariableBlock)

The mapping of the types can be found in "MiniCadCallBacks.h", as well as other specifiers (e.g. ovDimFontStyle) , if you are looking for other properties of the dimension object.

		//	(fix_ang)		= 0,
		//	(sloped)		= 1,
		//	(ordinate)		= 2,
		//	(radial)		= 3,
		//	(diametrical)		= 4,
		//	(ang)			= 5;
