How to use dimension in custom ucs?

when I work in custom ucs, my own dimension command always get wrong points coordinates, I think I must use cordinate convertion through transformby method , but I don't know how to use it, could someone give me some codes about how to use it .

Editor.GetPoint returns points in the current UCS. You must transform these
points to WCS:
Matrix3d mat = ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem.Inverse();

Point3d ptInUcs;

ptInUcs = ptInUcs.TransformBy(mat);

I don't understand why you use ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem.Inverse() instead of ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem. I use ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem to transform a point from wcs to current ucs.
the following is my dimension code , in wcs it works well ,but in custom ucs,the dimension point is not correct, i have tried to transform points to WCS,but problem still exit.

AcquirePoint unlike GetPoint returns the point in WCS so you don't need to
transform it at all.
