Example

Remarks

Each display dimension's PropertyManager page contains a section called Dimension Text that specifies the format of the displayed dimension. The format consists of function symbols or tokens enclosed within angle brackets (e.g., <DIM>), each of which connotes the function or definition of the value symbols that follow it.

This method retrieves all of the symbols, both function and value, for the portion of the display dimension text specified by WhichText. It also retrieves values for any symbols that can be evaluated in TokensDefinition.

NOTE: This method does not support hole callouts.
