Dimensions and Annotations

Abstract

Although AutoCAD provides an environment that allows users to make detailed and precise drawings, it’s often necessary for users to incorporate further information. A typical user will add textual annotations and measurement annotations (dimensions) to a drawing for manufacturing, modeling, engineering, mapping, and surveying purposes, and to help clarify design intent. AutoCAD VBA provides a number of methods to help users create annotations and dimensions that they normally create through the AutoCAD application interface.
