Hello sankey,
I had expected a comment by you on my last posting. Now I fear I might have offended you unintentionally. When calling for someone else able and willing, I didn't mean you were unable and unwilling. I just wanted to take any pressure from you to have to do it. I'm glad for what you have done.
If you don't have the knowledge, time or are not in the mood for it, that's absolutely o.k.
Though it would be a pity if your improvement had to be withdrawn, because it doesn't work for all conditions. But who knows, maybe you are secretly working on a solution? Please give a statement.
Concerning the "autocorrection", I had imagined the size of the extension lines and the other dimension components are written in the dxf-file as they are really drawn and printed, and the values in the settings tab are just a way to define this. So when the settings tab structure is changed the values in there would change automatically. But I'm not a coder and don't know how these things work.

Not to worry at all!  I am consumed by other work at the moment.  In fact, if you are looking at this, LordOfBikes, you maybe should not wait for any more of my contributions before releasing librecad 2.2.0, since it could be months before I continue this dimensions work.
