    Does anyone know why a segment line in sketch can not be created
    with API or interactively if its length is less than 0.0001 mm ?

    SW2004 4.1
    I'm able to create a line 0.0001 mm long. However, I can't dimension it's
    length, but I can dimension it's 2 endpoints from the origin. I suspect the
    reason I can't directly dimension it's length is because of the dimension
    extension and leader line settings, they would overlap.

    I don't think so. If you draw a triangle (rectangle) with one side .0001mm
    long, and dimension the opposite side by an angle on the hypothenuse, you
    get an error if one side goes under .0001 mm.

    Must be a built-in safeguard...

    I would ask my VAR (if I still had one)...

    There are limits in SW as to how big or small a feature can be. I
    think .0000001M is about the limit. I think you can go 1000M centered
    about the origin to .0000001M. It has been like that from the
    beginning.

    you can dimesion it using the api if you zoom in 1st. i would zoom to
    the bounding box of the line. then dimension it. the dimensioning api
    is screen rez sensitive.
