Moving dimension text

[gswifort]

I'd like to move the text along the dimension line, but something like this happens. I tried using dim.textAttachment(), but it didn't help.

from pyrx import Db, Ed, command


@command
def doit():
    status, ent_id, _ = Ed.Editor.entSel("Select dimension: ")
    if status != Ed.PromptStatus.eOk:
        return
    dim = Db.RotatedDimension(ent_id)
    text_pos = dim.textPosition()
    text_pos.x += 10.0
    dim.upgradeOpen()
    dim.setTextPosition(text_pos)

You mean the jump in the Y direction? I think that’s just some reactor, I think you can use setDimtmove, maybe you can set this in the dimension style, or as an override

try this

@Ap.Command()
def doit():
    try:
        status, ent_id, _ = Ed.Editor.entSel("Select dimension: ")
        if status != Ed.PromptStatus.eOk:
            return
    
        dim = Db.RotatedDimension(ent_id)
        rec = Db.DimStyleTableRecord()
        rec.setDimtmove(2)
        text_pos = dim.textPosition()
        text_pos.x += 10.0
        dim.upgradeOpen()
        dim.setDimstyleData(rec)
        dim.setTextPosition(text_pos)
    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)


@Ap.Command()
def doitzw():
    try:
        status, ent_id, _ = Ed.Editor.entSel("Select dimension: ")
        if status != Ed.PromptStatus.eOk:
            return
        
        #hack for zwcad
        dim = Db.RotatedDimension(ent_id)
        rec = Db.DimStyleTableRecord(dim.dimensionStyle())
        temp = Db.DimStyleTableRecord()
        temp.copyFrom(rec)
        temp.setDimtmove(2)
        
        text_pos = dim.textPosition()
        text_pos.x += 10.0
        dim.upgradeOpen()
        dim.setDimstyleData(temp)
        dim.setTextPosition(text_pos)
    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)

Thanks!
