Kiwideziner Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 placing a text block over the dimension text is the only way. If you want to keep the number and add text before or after you can do this in the dim DBX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to keep the number and add text before or after you can do this in the dim DBX. Uncheck the default dimension properties, change the text size for the dimension to .0003", now put your own text block over..... this eliminates the need for a FILLED text block. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbuttery Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 an over-ride has been asked for many times it would be nice to have - especially for as-builts not everything comes out as "expected"/measured.... it would also be nice to be able to add a second dim there are times when the chief model would have a dim based on all the other dims then I would have to add - "but I measured it as ..." and would give it red text this would let me know that there was a discrepancy if it was big enough or I had a few of them I might even do a second site visit for verification' if it was "minor" I would live with it especially if it was not in the project area or critical to the project yes, all of this can be done with text boxes - but having it part of the dim string just looks better Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
