Control generator modules are used in Drawings label templates to generate text boxes for labels.
Overall Dimensions
By default, dimension control generators use the settings in the Linear_A_HV.xml dimension template. By using <overallDimension>, you can override Linear_A_HV.xml and select another template for overall dimensions. In the example below, Piping Plan_Pipes_Horizontal.xml is used as the dimension template for piping parts:
<dimensionSettings>
<overall>-1</overall>
<overallDimension value="Piping Plan_Pipes_Horizontal">
</dimensionSettings>
