ShortenedRadius Property (IDisplayDimension)

Gets or sets whether to display this radius display dimension with a foreshortened radius.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Property ShortenedRadius As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IDisplayDimension
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.ShortenedRadius = value
 
value = instance.ShortenedRadius
C# 
bool ShortenedRadius {get; set;}
C++/CLI 
property bool ShortenedRadius {
   bool get();
   void set (bool value);
}

Return Value

True displays a foreshortened radius, false does not display a foreshortened radius

Remarks

In certain instances, you might want to show a radius dimension where the leader goes towards the center of the arc, but stops just before reaching the center. This is commonly used when the center of the arc is beyond the bounds of a drawing, or interferes with another view. This method controls that display characteristic.

This property applies only to radius dimensions. It does not affect other types of dimensions.

After using this property, use IModelDoc2::GraphicsRedraw2 to redraw the graphics window to see your changes.
