the "fixed" box means that the extension line offset is fixed, so that you can put the dimension near or far the draw that the line has always the same offset.

I believe I understand you, what you want to convey, but terminology or way you used may not be appropriate. Let me rephrase it.

"Offset" (distance between end of extension line near to point of dimension and point itself) is already of fix amount, by parameter "Extension line offset". Now we can have some "tick/selection" button. If we use this parameter, we will have fixed offset, as we have at present.

But if we de-select it (don't want to use it), then offset will be different, and extension line's length will be fixed. It may be "Extension line extension" units on each side of dimension line, i.e total fixed length of extension line will be "two times 'Extension line extension' ", but having different offset, depending upon location of dimension line.
