Set different options for the dimension direction, selection of dimension points or dimension chain positron by accessing the dimension definition properties.
A dimension definition contains the following settings:
- Dimension direction - defines the dimension chain direction relative to the applied object type.
- Selection of dimension points - A list of sub-styles is available for point selection. The sub-styles specify which points from what objects will be dimensioned.
- Dimension chain position - Several options are available for better positioning relative to the object presentation.

The existing dimension definitions can be renamed and new definitions can be added.
