linear dimensions at even intervals. This value should be greater than the distance
between the text and the dimension line, plus the height of the text.
Specify a ratio to define the elongation of the text string. A value of 1.0 has no
elongation.
Underlines the permanent dimension value and text.
Applies italic formatting to the permanent dimension value and text.
Applies bold formatting to the permanent dimension value and text.
Specify the size of the typeface for the dimension.
Specify the offset of the text from the dimension line.
Specify the read convention for the dimension text.
