Summary

Support grips for Dimension objects in webControl

Solution

In version 12.0.01
Dimensions that supported by VDS also supports grips
Note:Supported dimensions can be tested with vddimmanager IsVDSdim method, they are usually linear rotated or aligned dimensions with UsingDefaultTextPosition property false

Example add a line and a dimension from line end points ,
put them together into a selection group.
As a result clicking on one of the entities , grips for both figures are enable and moving the grips of the endpoint both objects modified

 //ensure enable grips
 vdcanvas.GripManager.Enable = true;
 vdcanvas.GripManager.SelectMode = vdConst.GRIPMODE_AUTO;
 //ensure enable groups
 vdcanvas.GroupsManager.IgnoreGroups = false;

 var line1 = vdcanvas.AddLine([-4, -4, 0], [4, 4, 0], true);
 vdcanvas.GroupsManager.AddItem("group1", line1);

 //create the dimension object over line end points
 var dimstyle = new vddimmanager();
 dimstyle.TYPE = 'ALIGN';
 dimstyle.BLK = 'ARROW';
 dimstyle.TEXTH = '0.4';
 dimstyle.PREC = '5';
 dimstyle.SZEROS = '0';


 var firstPoint = line1.StartPoint;//the first point of the line
 var endPoint = line1.EndPoint;//the end point of the line
 var rotation = vdgeo.GetAngle(firstPoint, endPoint);//the rotation between the two points
 var polar = vdgeo.pointPolar(firstPoint, rotation + vdgeo.HALF_PI, 0.6);//find the point of the dimension
 var dim = dimstyle.Create(vdcanvas, firstPoint, endPoint, polar, '');//the dimension will be added in the entities of the layout
 vdcanvas.GroupsManager.AddItem("group1", dim);

 setTimeout(vdcanvas.redraw);
