Specifies the user-defined text string for the dimension.

HorizontalRotation

For more information about editing dimensions, see “Modify Existing Dimensions” in the AutoCAD User's Guide.

In addition, to modifying a dimension object using its specific properties and methods you can also copy and transform dimension objects. For information on copying and transforming objects, see Edit Named and 2D Objects.
