Options

• :DIM_LIST specifies the dimension to modify. This can be used with the Select tool for multiple selection of dimensions.
• :TYPE1 sets the new arrow type for the first dimension point that was specified.
• :TYPE2 sets the new arrow type for the second dimension point that was specified. When only one dimension point was required, Annotation assigns the arrows automatically.
• :FILLING specifies either filled or outlined arrows.
• :SIZE_ABS sets a new absolute size for the arrows.
• :SIZE_REL sets a new size for the arrows relative to the main dimension text size.
• :PLACEMENT modifies the positioning of the dimension arrows:
  • "ARROW_AUTO" places arrows either inside or outside the extension lines, depending on where the dimension text was placed.
  • "ARROW_INSIDE" places the arrows inside the extension lines.
  • "ARROW_OUTSIDE" places the arrows outside the extension lines.
• :COLOR_RGB changes the color of all dimensioning lines and arrows. It automatically calls up the GET_RGB_COLOR_SA subaction. Use this subaction to specify the new RGB or HSL color.
• :PEN_SIZE changes the pen size of the dimension and extension lines.
• :OFFSET_POINT changes the offset of the start of the extension lines from the dimension points.
• :OFFSET_LINE changes the offset of the end of the extension lines from the dimension line.
