Depending on which space you are in (model or layout) or in a block, you would add it too that object eg thisdrawing.modelspace.addDimAligned (extLine1Point, ExtLine2Point, TextPosition)

Thanks for the reply
I am in model space

I did get the dimensioning to work but how can i control where the dimension line will be ?

Is this the TextPosition ?

 

[rwbaker]

Guess I answered my own question...
textposition does control final location of text.

now another question

How can i use the dimension setting that are currently saved with the drawing ?

You will need to make the style you want current and then its creation is controlled by the style.
