Dimension in a block record does not show on drawing

[JorenPelfrene]

See below example where the generated dwg-file shows the line, but not the dimension annotation. Is it possible to have a Dimension entity be part of a block record? It only seems to show on the drawing if added to the CadDocument.Entities directly.

CadDocument doc = new CadDocument();
doc.Header.Version = ACadVersion.AC1032;
doc.Header.ShowModelSpace = true;

BlockRecord block = new BlockRecord("block1");

ACadSharp.Entities.Line line = new ACadSharp.Entities.Line
{
    StartPoint = new CSMath.XYZ(1, 0, 0),
    EndPoint = new CSMath.XYZ(5, 5, 0)
};

DimensionLinear dim = new DimensionLinear() 
{
    FirstPoint = line.StartPoint,
    SecondPoint = line.EndPoint,
    DefinitionPoint = new XYZ(0, -1, 0)
};

block.Entities.Add(line);
block.Entities.Add(dim);


doc.BlockRecords.Add(block);
Insert blockinsert = new Insert(block)
    {
        InsertPoint = new XYZ(10,10, 0)
    };
doc.Entities.Add(blockinsert);

using (DwgWriter writer = new DwgWriter("C:/temp/acadsharp_trial.dwg", doc))
{
    writer.Write();
}

Hi @JorenPelfrene,

This seems a limitation of the current version, when the dimensions are placed in the *model_space the blocks that draw the dimension are automatically generated, but if they are in a block, they don't appear because it doesn't generate the block.

I'll open a branch to solve this issue.

Thanks for the report!
