This does not change the value of "d#" in the drawing or the overall drawing scale, only the spatial dimension of the displayed entities.

Changing drawing scale. Drawing scale changed to 2; the edge length in the view becomes 10.

Initial conditions.
Model edge has a corresponding dimension d# = 5. If the drawing scale is 1 and the edge length is 5, the "drawing_scale_factor" is set to 1.

Changing dimension value.
Value of d# changed to 10 in Part or Assembly mode, so "drawing_scale _factor" becomes .5. Makes the calculated length in the view half of its dimension value (it remains 5 (unchanged)).

Changing value of "length" parameter.
Value of "length" parameter changed in the relation to 10, so "drawing_scale_factor" becomes 2. Multiplies the length of the edges in the view by 2.

Changing value of "length" parameter at a given scale.
The edge with the dimension value of 5 appears in the drawing with a scale of 2. Changing "length" parameter to 10 changes "drawing_scale_factor" to 2, so the calculated length of the edge in the drawing is 20.
