This type of dimensioning is helpful when you create a sketch for revolved geometry that requires a full angular dimension.

Before calling this method, you might want to call ISldWorks::SetUserPreferenceToggle with swUserPreferenceToggle_e.swInputDimValOnCreate to suppress the dialog box that allows the user to enter the dimension value.
