capitaldesigns Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 How do you change individual dimension text in a dimension line. I have a dimension string that has a lot of smaller dimension like 1'-1", 1'-2" and 1'-3". They are writing over each other. I was told that there is a way to change individual dimensions where I could change them to read 13", 14" and 15". This way they will not be placed on top of each other. Does anyone know how to do this ? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 You can stagger the dimensions so they don't overlap but I believe you will need to add an extra string to change the formatting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how to do this ? Open the dimension string and on the Primary Format panel, uncheck Use Default Formatting and change Format > Units to inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
