Additional attributes are provided to control ancillary graphics as follows:
Marker Style/Colour (MSTYLE/MCOLOUR). These control the appearance of the optional marker at the circle/arc centre. MSTYLE may be set to OFF to suppress the marker.
Crosshairs Line Style/Colour (CHSTYLE/CHCOLOUR). These control the appearance of the optional horizontal and vertical fixed crosshairs that mark the centre of the circle/arc being dimensioned. CHSTYLE may be set to OFF to suppress the crosshairs.
Crosshairs Overshoot distance CHOSHT - default value 6. This controls the distance by which the crosshairs overshoot the circle circumference. This value can be negative. CHOSHT can be set using the cursor, that means, using the command:
CHOSHT @
Angle Subtended ASUB - default 0. This controls the angle subtended by the optional projection arcs at the circle circumference. For DFLAG DIAMETER two arcs are drawn, one at each end of the dimension-line; for DFLAG RADIUS only one arc is drawn. The midpoint of these arcs will intersect the dimension-line. Note that ASUB=180 generates a circle for a diameter dimension.
Projection Line Style/Colour (PLSTYLE/PLCOLOUR). These control the appearance of projection arcs.
