Dimension adds Adrian's extruder distance E value to the gcode movement lines, as described at:<br>
<a href="http://blog.reprap.org/2009/05/4d-printing.html">http://blog.reprap.org/2009/05/4d-printing.html</a><br>

<hr>
The default 'Activate Dimension' checkbox is off. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.<br>

<hr>
<a name="Extrusion Distance Format Choice" id="Extrusion Distance Format Choice"></a><h3>Extrusion Distance Format Choice</h3>
Default is 'Relative Extrusion Distance'. In Adrian's description the distance is absolute, but since the relative distances are smaller than the cumulative absolute distances, I chose to make the default relative.<br>
<br>
<a name="Absolute Extrusion Distance" id="Absolute Extrusion Distance"></a><h4>Absolute Extrusion Distance</h4>
When selected, the extrusion distance output will be the total extrusion distance to that gcode line.<br>
<br>
<a name="Relative Extrusion Distance" id="Relative Extrusion Distance"></a><h4>Relative Extrusion Distance</h4>
When selected, the extrusion distance output will be the extrusion distance from the last gcode line.<br>

<hr>
The following examples dimension the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and dimension.py.<br>

This brings up the dimension dialog.<br>
