Set Radial Dimension Leader Example (VB.NET)
This example shows how to attach a radial dimension leader to an arc
extension line.
'---------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Verify that the part to open exists.
' 2. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Opens the part.
' 2. Edits the sketch and creates a fillet.
' 3. Attaches the radial dimension leader to the arc extension
' leader.
' 4. Gets whether the radial dimension leader is attached to
' the arc extension leader.
' 5. Examine the graphics area, then press F5.
' 6. Exits the sketch.
' 7. Examine the Immediate window.
'
' NOTE: Because the part is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
