If the position is not applicable, this property returns NULL and will not allow setting a value.

Examples

Copy C# 
      // Get the current text XYZ position
XYZ currentTextPosition = currentSegment.TextPosition;
// Calculate a new XYZ position by transforming the current text position
XYZ newTextPosition = Transform.CreateTranslation(new XYZ(0, 1, 0)).OfPoint(currentTextPosition);
// Set the new text position for the segment's text
currentSegment.TextPosition = newTextPosition;

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ApplicationException Thrown when the dimension text is unavailable.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException Thrown when:
  • The dimension text is a SpotElevation
