Thank You Tomasz for exlaination.

I haven't known that there is a difference beetween view types other than
in rendering.
I also have read on IRC channel that legacy mode will be banned and I
shouldnt worry about this draw mode. It is true? Should I also make change
for drawing dimension in legacy mode?

To be honset I have plan to move dimension module to Altium-like.
