CAD Dynamic Drawing Dimension

A Dynamic Drawing Dimension output field allows a configurator to create a dimension during the build process. You specify a dynamic drawing dimension by providing the names and parent components of 2 points. You can control the orientation of the dimension by using the 'vertical' boolean property.
