StringType:
DrawingSaved in:
NoneInitial value:
For example, to establish a suffix for millimeters, set DIMPOST to mm; a
distance of 19.2 units would be displayed as 19.2 mm.
If tolerances are turned on, the suffix is applied to the tolerances as well as to
the main dimension.
Use <> to indicate placement of the text in relation to the dimension value.
For example, enter <>mm to display a 5.0 millimeter radial dimension as
"5.0mm". If you entered mm <>, the dimension would be displayed as "mm
5.0". Use the <> mechanism for angular dimensions.
