| DIMBLK2 |
Substitutes a user-specified block instead of the arrowhead for the second end of the dimension line. |
| DIMCEN |
Controls the display of non-associative center marks and center lines for circles and arcs. A value of 0 turns off center marks and lines. |
| DIMCLRD |
Allows you to change the color of the dimension lines, leader, and arrowheads. |
| DIMCLRE |
Sets colors for dimension extension lines. |
| DIMCLRT |
Sets colors for dimension text. |
| DIMDEC |
Sets the number of decimals displayed for tolerances in dimensions. |
| DIMDLE |
Controls the distance beyond the extension line that the dimension line extends when using dimension lines with oblique strokes. |
| DIMDLI |
Controls the spacing offset of the dimension lines when drawing baseline dimensions. |
| DIMDSEP |
Determines the character that is used as a decimal separator when creating dimensions in decimal format. |
| DIMEXE |
Determines how far extension lines stretch beyond dimension lines. |
| DIMEXO |
Controls the amount of space between the entity being dimensioned and the extension line. |
| DIMFIT |
Places arrowheads and text inside or outside extension lines based on the space available between extension lines. |
| DIMGAP |
Controls the amount of space before and after the dimension text and the closest end of the dimension line. |
| DIMJUST |
Sets the horizontal position of the dimension text to one of the following options: centered (0, the default value); next to the first extension line (1); next to the second extension line (2); perpendicular to the first extension line (3); perpendicular to the second extension line (4). |
| DIMLFAC |
Specifies the scale factor for linear dimensions. |
| DIMLIM |
Generates dimensions as upper and lower tolerance limits. |
| DIMLUNIT |
Sets units for all dimension types, except Angular, to one of the following: Scientific (1), Decimal (2), Engineering (3), Architectural (4), Fractional (5), or Windows Desktop (6). |
| DIMLWD |
Sets the lineweight for dimension lines. |
| DIMLWE |
Sets the lineweight for extension lines. |
| DIMPOST |
Specifies the prefix and/or suffix that appears in dimension text. |
| DIMRND |
Allows you to round off dimension measurements to the specified value. |
| DIMSAH |
Toggles on or off the use of custom-defined blocks for dimension arrowheads. |
| DIMSCALE |
Controls the scale factor for variables affecting dimensioning size, distance, and offset. |
| DIMSD1 |
Toggles on or off the display of the first dimension line. |
| DIMSD2 |
Toggles on or off the display of the second dimension line. |
| DIMSE1 |
Toggles on or off the display of the first extension line. |
| DIMSE2 |
Toggles on or off the display of the second extension line. |
| DIMSHO |
Controls the update of dimension measurements while increasing or decreasing the size of a dimensioned entity. |
| DIMSOXD |
Toggles on or off the placement of dimension lines outside the extension lines. |
| DIMSTYLE |
Allows you to list the available dimension styles and apply a new style from those available. |
| DIMTAD |
Determines the vertical placement of dimension text in relation to the dimension line. The default value (0) centers the dimension text between the dimension lines. The other values allow you to place the dimension text above or below the dimension line. |
| DIMTDEC |
Allows you to specify the number of decimal places to display tolerance values in a dimension. |
| DIMTFAC |
Not implemented. |
| DIMTIH |
Positions dimension text inside the extension lines either horizontally (on) or aligned with the dimension line (off). |
| DIMTIX |
Positions dimension text between extension lines. |
| DIMTM |
Specifies the minimum tolerance or lower limit value for dimension text. |
| DIMTOFL |
Toggles on or off the drawing of a dimension line between the extension lines when the text is placed outside the measured points. |
| DIMTOH |
Sets the placement of dimension text outside the extension lines. The default value (1) draws text horizontally. Changing the value to off (0) aligns text with the dimension line. |
| DIMTOL |
Appends plus and minus tolerance values to dimension text. |
| DIMTOLJ |
Not implemented. |
| DIMTP |
Specifies the maximum tolerance or upper limit value for dimension text. |
| DIMTSZ |
Determines the size of the oblique strokes drawn, replacing the arrowheads in linear, radius, and diameter dimensioning. |
| DIMTVP |
Sets the vertical position of dimension text relative to the dimension line. |
| DIMTXSTY |
Specifies a new value for the dimension text style. |
| DIMTXT |
Specifies the height of dimension text. If the current text has a fixed height, DIMTXT will not override this setting. |
| DIMTZIN |
Determines the suppression of leading zeros in measurements and decimal dimensions when applying tolerance values. |
| DIMUNIT |
Allows you to set the format for dimension units to the following: Scientific (1), Decimal (2), Engineering (3), Architectural - stacked (4), Fractional -- stacked (5), Architectural (6), Fractional (7), Windows Desktop (8). |
| DIMUPT |
Allows you the option of controlling only the dimension line location, or both the dimension line location and the text position. |
| DIMZIN |
Determines the suppression of leading and trailing zeros in primary dimension text. |
