Range	Returns the high and low range values for the referenced object.
RemoveFSStackBalloon	Removes the Fastener System stack
RemoveVertex	Removes a vertex at a specified index, causing indices of following vertices to decrement by one.
Select	Selects the referenced object in the active window.
SendBackward	Changes the display order of visible objects by moving the referenced object so that it is in back of the first object behind it.
SendToBack	Changes the display order of visible objects by moving the referenced object behind all overlapping objects.
SetAlignmentShape	This method connect balloon to the alignment shape at a point whose coordinates are dPointX and dPointY.
SetFreeSpacePoint	Specifies the coordinates of the terminal connect point for a leader line belonging to the referenced dimensioning object.
SetItemNumber	Sets the item number for the referenced Balloon object.
SetKeyPoint	Sets the position for a specified key point.
SetTerminator	Specifies a new object and/or connect point for the terminal end of an annotatino object's leader.
SetVertex	Sets the coordinates of an existing vertex of the referenced object.
SetVertices	Creates vertices in a dimensioning object from an array of x-y coordinates.

Public Properties

Application	Returns the active application object.
AttributeSets	Returns the AttributeSets collection object for the referenced object.
BalloonDirection	Sets and returns the orientation of the referenced Balloon object.
BalloonDisplayedText
BalloonDisplayedTextLower
BalloonDisplayedTextPrefix
BalloonDisplayedTextSuffix
BalloonLeaderTextConnectionPoint	Sets and returns the connection point of the leader or breakline to the balloon. Point 0 is at the center, 1 is default left, 2 is default right, 3 and higher are the next points in the clockwise direction from default left.
BalloonSides	Sets and returns the number of sides for an N-sided balloon.
BalloonSize	Sets and returns the size of the referenced Balloon object.
BalloonText	Sets and returns the text string that is displayed in the referenced Balloon object.
BalloonTextLower	The lower text that is displayed in the referenced Balloon object.
BalloonTextPrefix	The prefix text that is displayed in the referenced Balloon object.
BalloonTextSuffix	The suffix text that is displayed in the referenced Balloon object.
BalloonType	Sets and returns the shape of the referenced Balloon object.
BreakLine	Specifies whether or not a breakline is added between the leader line and the referenced dimensioning object.
BreakLineDirection	Sets and returns the direction (left or right) in which the break line runs along the x axis.
BreakLineDistance	Sets and returns the length along the x axis that the break line traverses.
Callout	Specifies whether or not a callout is to be used with the referenced Balloon object.
CalloutAllAround	Display all around symbol for Callout at the connect point of the leader line and break line.
CalloutAllOver	Display all over symbol for Callout at the connect point of the leader line and break line.
CalloutBalloonBreaklineDirection	Sets and returns the breakline direction for callout and balloon.
CalloutBorder	Callout border displays the border around callout text. Use TRUE to turn ON callout border.
CalloutBorderHorizontalGap	Callout border horizontal gap. This gap will decide the horizontal spacing between callout border and text on both side and it will override dimension style parameter 'Text clearance gap'.
CalloutBorderVerticalGap	Callout border vertical gap. This gap will decide the vertical spacing between callout border and text on both side and it will override dimension style parameter 'Vertical box gap'.
CalloutHorizontalAlignment	Sets and returns the horizontal alignment of callout text.
CalloutLeaderTextConnectionPoint	Sets and returns the connection point of the leader or breakline to the callout.
CalloutTextAspectRatio	Callout text aspect ratio. It will be override dimension style parameter for ‘Callout text aspect ratio’.
CalloutTextWidth	Specifies the width of the callout text. Only used when CalloutWidthFixedAutoAspectRatio or CalloutWidthFixedWrapText is TRUE.
CalloutTextWidthMode	Gets or sets the text width mode on the callout. CalloutTextWidth should be defined prior to setting to FixedAutoAspectRatio or FixedWrapText.
DisplayByItemNumber	Specifies whether or not the display of the referenced Balloon object is by item number.
DisplayItemCount	This read-write Boolean property controls item count display for the referenced Balloon object.
Document	Returns the document to which the referenced object belongs.
FSBalloonOverridePrefixText	Gets or sets the overridden prefix text of individual balloon in FS balloon stack.
FSBalloonOverrideSuffixText	Gets or sets the overridden suffix text of individual balloon in FS balloon stack.
