Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
view	View	The view in which the dimension is to be visible.
arc	Arc	The extension arc of the dimension.
arcRef	Reference	Geometric reference of the arc to which the dimension is to be bound. This reference must be parallel to the extension arc.
firstRef	Reference	The first geometric reference to which the dimension is to be bound. This reference must intersect the arcRef reference.
secondRef	Reference	The second geometric reference to which the dimension is to be bound. This reference must intersect the arcRef reference.
dimensionType	DimensionType	The dimension style to be used for the dimension.

Return Value

Type	Description
Dimension	If creation was successful the new arc length dimension is returned, otherwise an exception with failure information will be thrown.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	Thrown when any input argument is.
ArgumentException	Thrown when the argument arcRef/ref1/ref2/dimensionType is invalid.
InvalidOperationException	Thrown when the creation failed.
