if you chose anything except "all dimensions" the name edit box is disabled. and the new dimstyle name will be equal to "start with" name plus ":linear" or ":radial" etc.
actualy the new dimstyle name stored in file will be
"oldname$0" for linear,
"oldname$2" for angular,
"oldname$3" for diameter,
"oldname$4" for radial,
"oldname$6" for ordinate,
"oldname$7" for leaders and tolerances

thanks a lot sergey ..for both answers !
but i have one query regarding the dimension style name format you described ...
if i try to recognize any entity from the name of it then will it affect in the localized acad file ?
will localized acad file retrun the name in the same format ?

the first part of name may contain national characters but $ and digits are ansi symbols and have the same coding in all code pages.
autocad's ui substitude :linear, :radial for $0, $2 etc.
so name may be displayed differently in localized autocads but suffix $0 etc. stored in file is the same.
