A method to create a rotated dimension using the AutoCAD .net API

protected void drawDimensions(Point3d dimensionPoint, Point3d point1, Point3d point2, double rotation)
{
    using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
    {
        BlockTable blockTable = tr.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) as BlockTable;
        BlockTableRecord modelSpace = tr.GetObject(blockTable[BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace], OpenMode.ForWrite) as BlockTableRecord;

Sometimes you will want to query an object's properties - that you found in a drawing. How do you do that?

Let us suppose we have a single part. Then we need to:

Get the Drawing
Get the part identifier
Select it in the model

SinglePartDrawing singlePartDrawing = (SinglePartDrawing)drawing;

Things which could be improved:

Move away from API docs and Extras "docs" as separate pages ----> makes things harder to find and needlessly complicated.
Improve "discoverability" problem. i.e. for example - to help readers answer the question: "which extras do I need, and why?" I feel I can improve upon this currently.

The rest:

The rest of the docs seem pretty good. We have config options for advanced use cases.

In previous posts I have told you how to:

programatically select objects in Tekla. i.e. you have a set of parts in memory, and you want them selected.

	function onSubmit(e) {
	// some work is done here:

	// var form = FormApp.getActiveForm();
	// var allResponses = form.getResponses();
	// var latestResponse = allResponses[allResponses.length - 1];
	// var response = latestResponse.getItemResponses();
	// var payload = {};
	// for (var i = 0; i < response.length; i++) {
	// var question = response[i].getItem().getTitle();

	# this is a contrived example
	# experiment with it in an IRB console.

	# we want to:
	# take a string
	# add convert it to an int
	# add 1 to that
	# and then cube it
