Overriding Dimension Values and Hiding Dimension Segments
The dimension values in an AEC dimension are the real-life calculated values
taken from the objects that are dimensioned. When the dimensioned object
is updated, the dimension value is updated accordingly. In some cases you
might want to override that value and exchange it for a manually inserted
value.
Overriding dimension text with a new value
In other cases, you might want to retain the original value, but supplement
it with a prefix or suffix.
