APS Dimension Commands
.
Architectural Production Software 2005

The APS dimension commands are meant to replace the standard AutoCAD dimension command indicated. The reason for having these commands is so that you will always use the default distance and if you are using one of the APS layer control methods your dimensions will always go on the correct layer.
