SetTerminator Method

Description

Specifies a new object and/or connect point for the terminal end of an annotatino object's leader.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub SetTerminator( _ ByVal TerminatorObj As Object, _ ByVal x As Double, _ ByVal y As Double, _ ByVal z As Double, _ ByVal keyPoint As Boolean _ )

Parameters

TerminatorObj: Specifies the annotation object to which the leader is to be connected.
x: Coordinates of the locate point for the terminator object. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
y: Coordinates of the locate point for the terminator object. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
z: Coordinates of the locate point for the terminator object. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
keyPoint: Specifies whether the object or a key point of the terminator object is to be used. If True, the leader's terminal end is placed with respect to the TerminatorObject; if False, the nearest key point on that object is selected.

Remarks

If the annotation object is placed with respect to a key point, the point of reference is the key point.
