Specifies a text prefix or suffix (or both) to the dimension measurement. For example, to establish a suffix for millimeters, set DIMPOST to mm; a distance of 19.2 units would be displayed as 19.2mm.
If tolerances are turned on, the suffix is applied to the tolerances as well as to the main dimension.
To separate DIMPOST values into prefix and suffix parts of the dimension text, use the < > mechanism; this allows AutoCAD LT to use the DIMPOST values as text. Use this mechanism for angular dimensions.
