- 3. * (POINT) high-range point

- Description:
- This command creates an automatic dimension line. Pick a point through which
- the dimension line is to pass. Pick the low-range and high-range points. The
- dimension line will be drawn parallel to one axis; the axis chosen is the one
- with the longest projection of the line joining the low- and high-range
- points. Only lines that are perpendicular to the dimension line and fall
- between the low- and high-range points are dimensioned.
- You are prompted to confirm that this is the end of the set of dimensions you
- require. If you enter `n', you are prompted for another pair of low-range and
- high-range points, which define another zone whose entities are to be
- dimensioned. The dimension lines are displayed only after you enter `y'.
- NOTE: This command creates either horizontal or vertical dimension lines.
