Places points based on coordinate values in the manufacturing data XML created in the Structural Manufacturing task. Alternately, the property places points according to the behavior of the Penetration Plate (PenPlatePointGenerator) property depending on how the parseGraphics property is set.

Customization
maxDimOffset
Determines the maximum linear paper space distance between consecutive witness lines in a linear distance dimension group.
maxWitnessLength
Controls the length of witness lines so that you can determine how far across the drawing the line is drawn. Points that fall outside the maximum witness length are eliminated from consideration.
overall
Specifies whether to connect the dimension witness line end points to the corners of the dimensioned object’s range or to the points placed by the module. Set the value to 1 to connect to the object’s range. Set the value to 0 to connect to the points.
parseGraphics
Specifies whether to determine dimension point locations by examining object graphics or by using the pgTransform XSLT information in the template. Set the value to -1 to process the graphics and forward them to the Penetration Plate (PenPlatePointGenerator) point generator module. Set the value to 0 to process the pgTransform information.
