Rotate Text	Scientific Data	The rotation of dimension's text.

Far Chord Point	3D Point (X, Y, Z coordinates)	The far chord point on circumference of ellipse or circle.
Offset Point	3D Point (X, Y, Z coordinates)	The point for offset of text in the radial dimension.
Leader Length	Real Number	The length of leader line.

In hsCADCreator the above properties are shown in the Selection Property Tree when a diametric dimension entity is selected using the Selection Tool.
