CoClasses that implement IDimensionStyleDisplay

CoClasses and Classes Description
DimensionStyle A container of properties which dictate how a dimension feature is displayed.

Remarks

The IDimensionStyleDisplay interface uses the following enumerations to indicate the drawing properties of several of a dimension feature's elements:

The esriDimensionDisplay enumeration defines four values for use with several properties:

esriDimensionDisplayBoth  - Displays the Beginning and Ending element.
esriDimensionDisplayBegin - Displays only the Beginning element.
esriDimensionDisplayEnd - Displays only the Ending element.
esriDimensionDisplayNone - Turns off display of both elements.

The MarkerFit property controls a Dimension�s behavior for fitting the text and label. The esriDimensionMarkerFit enumeration defines three values:

esriDimensionMarkerFitNone - Do not attempt to fit.
esriDimensionMarkerFitTolerance - Move markers to outside of extension lines if the MarkerFitTolerance is exceeded.
esriDimensionMarkerFitText - Move markers to outside if colliding with text. This option does not apply to custom text positions.

When the markers are moved because of a fit, a line will be drawn between the markers based on the DrawLineOnFit property. The BaselineHeight property specifies the height above the selected dimension feature that new dimension featrues will be created when using the Baseline Dimension tool.
