Summary
For example... when you choose to draw a radius dimension in AutoCAD, you are prompted to pick the arc/circle and then a 2ndpoint to actually locate the dimension text. This allows the user to dynamically position the dimension text... very useful. In VDraw, you simply prompt the user to pick a point on the arc/circle and the dimension is drawn, not allowing the user to dynamically locate it. ALSO, once drawn, the AutoCAD dimension appears as a leader with the radius prefixed by the 'R' character. In VDraw, the dimension appears as a single line with arrows at both ends... not the proper way to dimension a radius (arrows at both lines I mean).
Solution
In version 7004 we did some changes regarding dimensions.
1) In CommandAction and cmdDim after adding a diameter or a radial dimension the user is prompted to set the location of the dimension's text. This way the user can set the exact location of the dimension after adding the entity.
2) We removed the arrow from the radial dimension that was located at the center of the circle/arc. This is done for better vieweing of the object.
