dimension text alignment (#908)

I haven't had much use for creating a drawing, since I make most everything off of the solids file. I'm pleased that I didn't have too much difficulty figuring out sheets and such, but I have a request:
I'm using ISO format, ordinate dimensioning, and I would like to align the numerical text to the decimal point just to clean everything up nicely. Is there a way to do this, and if not could someone figure out an implementation.
As an example of a method, I would take the selected dimension text and use the first dimension pick as the seed for position, and the rest of the dimensions would align to its final decimal point position.
I've created a simple drawing as an example

This will be in the upcoming Shark beta. It worked very nicely on your sample file. Tim

Beside being very useful for ordinates, it also quickly cleans up horiz/vertical dimensions. This will be in the upcoming Shark beta. It worked very nicely on your sample file. Tim
