## Detailed Description

References a linear dimension entity. A linear dimension is composed of the following sub-entities:

- two 'extension lines' that connect to the entity being dimensioned.
- a 'dimension line' connecting the ends of the leaders. (this may be represented by one or two paths depending on appearance.)
- an optional 'leader line' that is used for small dimensions.
- a 'dimension text' that displays the dimension's text.

There are six points that may be modified for a linear dimension:

- two 'connection points' that define the start and end of the dimension.
- two 'extent points' that define the start and end of the dimension line and are the ends of the two extension lines.
- two 'offset points' that define the starting points of the extension lines.
