Angular Dimension

The Angular Dimension block provides a control to input an expression whose dimensionality is always angular. As such, it is a special case of the Expression block.

Like Linear Dimension, the dimensionality is pre-fixed (to Angle), so the general Dimensionality/HasUnitsMenu/Units properties from the base Expression block are not exposed as separate design choices — the block is dedicated to angular values.

Block-specific properties

Confirmed identical page structure/intro to Linear Dimension and Expression (same property table header). Properties follow the same pattern as Expression and Linear Dimension:

Property Name Description Access Property Type List of Values
BalloonTooltipText / BalloonTooltipImage / BalloonTooltipLayout Standard balloon tooltip properties. CIGS String/String/Enum See other block pages.
ExpressionObject Specifies the Expression object tied to the block (angular). IG TaggedObject Object of type NXOpen.Expression.
Formula Specifies the formula for the expression. CSG String Any string representing a valid formula.
Value Specifies the expression's angular value. CSG Double Any value (angle, e.g. degrees or radians per current units).
LimitCheckTolerance / MaximumValue / MaxInclusive / MinimumValue / MinInclusive / PageIncrement / LineIncrement / AdaptiveScaleLimits / RetainValue / RetainUnits / WithScale Same properties and semantics as the Expression block. (various) (various) See Expression block.
