Remarks

To add a new member to the collection, use the Add method. To select a specific dimension style, use the Item method.

Although the DimStyles collection inherits a Delete method, you cannot actually delete the collection. Attempting to delete the DimStyles collection will result in an error. The Delete method has been removed from the documentation for this collection.

There is no limit to the number of dimension styles that you can create in your drawing. However, there can be only one instance of the DimStyles collection. The DimStyles collection is predefined for each drawing. You can make multiple references to it by using the DimStyles property. Once done with an object, the reference is automatically released.
