The descriptions appear as field names for any dimension fields in LN sessions in which you can select a dimension.
Field Information
- Dimension Type

The dimension type number.
- Linked Object

The object to which the dimension type is linked. Each object can only be linked once. The linked object, which is defined for a specific dimension type, will be used when the user imports dimensions.
