Read dimension text from file (to avoid recalculation)
When importing drawings using the DDES3 file format, dimension labels are normally generated based on their calculated size. However, to improve compatibility with other CAD systems, and allow for the preservation of any customer overriden dimension label text, it's possible to enable this option.
By default, this option is OFF for new and existing MTS on upgrade, to preserve historic behaviour.
