	Arc arc,
	Reference arcRef,
	Reference firstRef,
	Reference secondRef,
	DimensionType dimensionType
)
Visual Basic 
Public Function NewArcLengthDimension ( _
	view As View, _
	arc As Arc, _
	arcRef As Reference, _

	DimensionType^ dimensionType
)

Parameters

view
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB View
The view in which the dimension is to be visible.
arc
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Arc
The extension arc of the dimension.
arcRef
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Reference
Geometric reference of the arc to which the dimension is to be bound. This reference must be parallel to the extension arc.
firstRef
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Reference
The first geometric reference to which the dimension is to be bound. This reference must intersect the arcRef reference.
secondRef
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Reference
The second geometric reference to which the dimension is to be bound. This reference must intersect the arcRef reference.
dimensionType
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB DimensionType
The dimension style to be used for the dimension.

Return Value

If creation was successful the new arc length dimension is returned, otherwise an exception with failure information will be thrown.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException Thrown when any input argument is a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) .
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException Thrown when the argument arcRef/ref1/ref2/dimensionType is invalid.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException Thrown when the creation failed.
