MKI_NUMPLACING_* (Dimension Number Placement Mode)

Determines whether the dimension number shall always be placed tight to the dimension line or not. If so, the distance between the text's base line and the dimension line is one-quarter of the dimension's font size. Possible values are:

MKI_NUMPLACING_NONE

The dimension number can be placed anywhere. In this case, (zx1,zy1) determines the center of the base line of the dimension number.

MKI_NUMPLACING_TIGHT

The dimension number is always placed tight to the dimension line. The resulting position is on the perpendicular dropped from (zx1,zy1) onto the dimension line, having a distance of one-quarter of the dimension's font size to the dimension line. A rotation angle defined by the points (zx1,zy1) and (zx2,zy2) remains unchanged.

MKI_NUMPLACING_INSIDE

The dimension number is always placed inside the dimension line. The resulting position is on the perpendicular dropped from (zx1,zy1) onto the dimension line, having a distance of 40% to the dimension line. The dimension line will be interrupted if this mode is active! A rotation angle defined by the points (zx1,zy1) and (zx2,zy2) remains unchanged.

MKI_NUMPLACING_START

The dimension number is always placed at the dimension line's beginning, being rotated by 90 degrees. A rotation angle defined by the points (zx1,zy1) and (zx2,zy2) remains unchanged.

MKI_NUMPLACING_END

The dimension number is always placed at the dimension line's end, being rotated by 90 degrees. A rotation angle defined by the points (zx1,zy1) and (zx2,zy2) remains unchanged.
