DIMLUNIT not working as expected

[sprunklicous]

I am sure I am just missing something obvious, but I am having trouble setting the DIMLUNIT variable in my dimstyle. Here are some relevant code snippets.

doc = ezdxf.new(dxfversion='R2010', setup=True)

dimsty = doc.dimstyles.new('Three_Sixteenths', dxfattribs={
'dimtxt': txt_ht,
'dimasz': txt_ht,
'dimblk': 'OBLIQUE',
'dimexe': txt_ht * 0.8,
'dimtad': 1,
'dimgap': txt_ht/2,
'dimexo': txt_ht,
'dimtxsty': 'ISO',
'dimfrac': 0,
'dimlunit': 4,
})

base = (bay_sp_ft[1] * 12, bldg_wid_in + txt_ht * 10) #location of dim line
start = (0, bldg_wid_in)
end = (bay_sp_ft[1] * 12, bldg_wid_in)
dstyl = 'Three_Sixteenths'

dim = msp.add_linear_dim(base=base, p1=start, p2=end, dimstyle=dstyl)
dim.render()

ds = doc.dimstyles.get('Three_Sixteenths')
print(ds.dxf.dimlunit) # returns 4....

Everything else seems to work fine except for dimlunit. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Ok, I figured out a way to get it to work. If I leave off the dim.render() it works fine. Not sure why, but I'll take it!
