Description

This class is the symbol table for AcDbDimStyleTableRecords, which represents dimension styles within the drawing database.

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.
