Alternate length display units and format
Public propertyAnnotationType
Type of annotation
Public propertyDimensionLengthDisplay

Public propertyDimensionScale
Gets or sets the dimension scale
Public propertyDimensionStyle
If there are no overrides then the parent style is returned otherwise the dimension style saved with the annotation is returned.

Public propertyDisposed
Indicates if this object has been disposed or the document it originally belonged to has been disposed.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public propertyDrawForward
Gets or sets whether the text is oriented towards the reader when viewed from behind
Public propertyFirstCharFont
Returns the font used by the first run of text in an annotation

Public propertyMaskUsesViewportColor
If true, the viewport's color is used for the mask color. If false, the color defined by MaskColor is used
Public propertyNumericValue
Gets the numeric value, depending on geometry type.

LinearDimension: distance between arrow tips

RadialDimension: radius or diamater depending on type

AngularDimension: angle in degrees

Leader or Text: UnsetValue

Public propertyObjectType
Useful for switch statements that need to differentiate between basic object types like points, curves, surfaces, and so on.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public propertyParentDimensionStyle
The parent dimension style associated with this annotation
Public propertyPlainText

Public propertyText
Text including additional RTF formatting information
Public propertyTextFormula
See RichText
Public propertyTextHasRtfFormatting
Public propertyTextHeight
AnnotationBase.TextHeight Gets the parent dimstyle for the annotation and gets or sets the text height in the dimstyle
Public propertyTextIsWrapped
Is text wrapping on
Public propertyTextModelWidth
Width of text in the model
Public propertyTextRotationDegrees
Rotation of text in degrees
Public propertyTextRotationRadians
Rotation of text in radians
Public propertyUserData
List of custom information that is attached to this class.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public propertyUserDictionary
Dictionary of custom information attached to this class. The dictionary is actually user data provided as an easy to use sharable set of information.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public propertyUserStringCount
Gets the amount of user strings.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodClearPropertyOverrides
Clears all overriden properties for this annotation
Public methodComponentIndex
If this piece of geometry is a component in something larger, like a BrepEdge in a Brep, then this function returns the component index.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected methodConstructConstObject
Assigns a parent object and a subobject index to this.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodDispose
Actively reclaims unmanaged resources that this instance uses.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Protected methodDispose(Boolean)
For derived class implementers.

This method is called with argument true when class user calls Dispose(), while with argument false when the Garbage Collector invokes the finalizer, or Finalize() method.

You must reclaim all used unmanaged resources in both cases, and can use this chance to call Dispose on disposable fields if the argument is true.

Also, you must call the base virtual method within your overriding method.

(Inherited from CommonObject.)

In Rhino for Windows, this member is overridden by Dispose(Boolean).
Public methodDuplicate
Constructs a deep (full) copy of this object.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodDuplicateShallow
Constructs a light copy of this object. By "light", it is meant that the same underlying data is used until something is done to attempt to change it. For example, you could have a shallow copy of a very heavy mesh object and the same underlying data will be used when doing things like inspecting the number of faces on the mesh. If you modify the location of one of the mesh vertices, the shallow copy will create a full duplicate of the underlying mesh data and the shallow copy will become a deep copy.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodEnsurePrivateCopy
If you want to keep a copy of this class around by holding onto it in a variable after a command completes, call EnsurePrivateCopy to make sure that this class is not tied to the document. You can call this function as many times as you want.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodEquals (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodFinalize
Passively reclaims unmanaged resources when the class user did not explicitly call Dispose().
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodStatic memberFirstCharProperties
Public methodStatic memberFormatRtfString
Public methodCode exampleGetBoundingBox(Boolean)
Boundingbox solver. Gets the world axis aligned boundingbox for the geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodCode exampleGetBoundingBox(Plane)
Aligned Boundingbox solver. Gets the plane aligned boundingbox.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodGetBoundingBox(Transform)
Aligned Boundingbox solver. Gets the world axis aligned boundingbox for the transformed geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodGetBoundingBox(Plane, Box)
Aligned Boundingbox solver. Gets the plane aligned boundingbox.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodStatic memberGetDimensionScale
Get view dependent dimension scale
Public methodGetDimensionStyle
Return the proper dimension style from which to get properties for this annotation object If this object has style overrides, those will be included in the returned dimension style and the style will be updated to include the current state of the parent style for non-overridden fields
Public methodGetHashCode (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetObjectData
Populates a System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo with the data needed to serialize the target object.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodGetType (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetUserString
Gets user string from this geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodGetUserStrings
Gets a copy of all (user key string, user value string) pairs attached to this geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodIsPropertyOverridden
Returns true if a property is overridden
Public methodIsValidWithLog
Determines if an object is valid. Also provides a report on errors if this object happens not to be valid.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public methodMakeDeformable
If possible, converts the object into a form that can be accurately modified with "squishy" transformations like projections, shears, an non-uniform scaling.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodMemoryEstimate
Computes an estimate of the number of bytes that this object is using in memory.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Protected methodNonConstOperation
For derived classes implementers.

Defines the necessary implementation to free the instance from being const.

(Inherited from CommonObject.)

In Rhino for Windows, this member is overridden by NonConstOperation.
Protected methodOnSwitchToNonConst
Is called when a non-const operation occurs.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodStatic memberPlainTextToRtf
Public methodRotate
Rotates the object about the specified axis. A positive rotation angle results in a counter-clockwise rotation about the axis (right hand rule).
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodScale
Scales the object by the specified factor. The scale is centered at the origin.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodSetBold
Public methodSetFacename
Public methodSetItalic
Public methodSetOverrideDimStyle
Set a style including overrides for this annotation object. The DimensionStyle OverrideStyle must have the override fields marked as overridden and must have it's Id set to nil. Use DimensinoStyle.SetFieldOverride(Field field) and related functions to manage override settings. To override a field, the field value must be set and the field must be marked as an override. The DimensionStyle passed in here must not be in the dimstyle table
Public methodSetRichText
Public methodSetUnderline
Public methodSetUserString
Attach a user string (key,value combination) to this geometry.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodToString (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodTransform
Transforms the geometry. If the input Transform has a SimilarityType of OrientationReversing, you may want to consider flipping the transformed geometry after calling this function when it makes sense. For example, you may want to call Flip() on a Brep after transforming it.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodTranslate(Vector3d)
Translates the object along the specified vector.
(Inherited from GeometryBase.)
Public methodTranslate(Double, Double, Double)
Translates the object along the specified vector.
