Property Value

Boolean

Remarks

By default this value is set to false, no dimension blocks will be generated when adding dimension entities to the document. It will be the responsibility of the program importing the DXF to generate the drawing that represent the dimensions.
When set to true the block that represents the dimension will be generated, keep in mind that this process is limited and not all options available in the dimension style will be reflected in the final result.
When importing a file if the dimension block is present it will be read, regardless of this value. If, later, the dimension is modified all updates will be done with the limited dimension drawing capabilities of the library, in this case, if you want that the new modifications to be reflected when the file is saved again you can set the dimension block to null, and the program reading the resulting file will regenerate the block with the new modifications.
