Linear Dimension (LDIM) elements exist for each linear dimension that displays on a drawing. Refer to Linear Dimensions for further information. LDIM elements own Dimension Point elements, which specify the points between which dimensions are drawn. Two other types of linear dimension are:

Radial Dimension (RDIM) elements exist for each radial dimension that displays on a drawing, being defined by a database element and an attribute (for example, DIAM of a CYLI). Refer to Radial Dimensions for further information.

Pitch Circle Dimension (PDIM) elements exist for each pitch circle dimension that displays on a drawing. Refer to Pitch Circle Dimensions for further information. PDIM elements own Dimension Point elements, which specify the points between which dimensions are drawn. The graphics for a PDIM are similar to those for an RDIM.

Angular Dimension (ADIM) elements exist for each angular dimension that displays on a drawing. Refer to Angular Dimensions for further information. ADIM elements own Dimension Direction elements, which specify the end points of the dimension arc and its origin.
