Fixed length extension lines for linear dimensions - AutoCAD 2006 Tip

Fixed length extension lines for linear dimensions are particularly useful for structural reinforcing plans where we show the number, size and spacing of bars. Obviously there are many other applications where this will be very useful.
Step 1. Select Dimension.
Step 2. Enter PROPS.
Step 3. Go to "Lines & Arrows" and set "Ext Line Fixed" to "on".
Step 4. The line below this "Ext Line Fixed Length" and be adjusted to the desired length. I find the default works fairly well.
