Description

Objects of this class represent the records found in the AcDbDimStyleTable. Each of these records contains the information necessary to generate a specific appearance (that is, text above, in, or below the line; arrows, slashes, or dots at the end of the dimension line, and so on) for dimensions that reference it.

Remarks

For dimensioning, it is often desirable to have a set of similar styles that are essentially variations on a theme, with each style intended for a different dimension type (that is, angular, linear, radial, and so on). Such a group of styles is known as an AcDbDimStyle family. The mechanism used by AcDb to set up a "family" is strictly a naming convention for the AcDbDimStyleTableRecords involved. For more information on this convention and how AutoCAD uses it, see the section on AcDbDimStyle Families.
