Get Whether Linear Dimension Is Foreshortened Example (C#)

This example shows how to get whether a linear dimension is foreshortened.

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open public_documents\samples\tutorial\api\chair.slddrw.
// 2. Click Tools > Options > Document Properties > Dimensions > Linear.
// 3. Click ANSI in Base linear dimension standard.
// 4. Verify that the following check box and option are selected in
//    Foreshortened:
//    * Automatic 
//    * Zigzag 
// 5. Click OK.
// 6. Dimension an outside linear edge.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Gets whether the dimension is foreshortened.
// 2. Examine the Immediate window and drawing.
//
// NOTES:
// * Foreshortened dimensions are only valid for
//   linear dimensions and only when the detailing standard
//   is ANSI.
// * Because the part and drawing are used elsewhere, do not
//   save changes.
