Parameters

WhichText

Portion of the display dimension text as defined in swDimensionTextParts_e

TokensDefinition

Array of strings containing format symbols for the text portion specified in WhichText

TokensEvaluated

Array of strings containing evaluations of symbols in TokensDefinition

Return Value

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

This API 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.
