			In MicroStation V8, the datapoint order has changed to this:&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			Select the start of the dimension,&lt;br /&gt;
			Select the dimension endpoint,&lt;br /&gt;
			Finally, select the length of the extension line.&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			In the old days, the picking order went like this:&lt;br /&gt;
			Select the start of the dimension,&lt;br /&gt;
			Set the length of the extension line,&lt;br /&gt;
			Finally, set the length of the dimension.&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			If you want your datapoint order to be like V7, set &lt;em&gt;MS_DIMLEGACYPOINTORDER&lt;/em&gt; to anything other than zero (0)&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			Note the datapoint order and the prompts in the clip below. &lt;/td&gt;
