Dimension Input Settings dialog box

Allows you to customize settings for dimensions during dynamic input. Dimension input is a field near the cursor that displays and accepts distance and angle values when a command prompts you for a second point or a distance. This dialog box displays when you click Settings for dimension input on the Drawing Settings - Dynamic Input tab.
