DRyeHD Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Is there a way to move the plot plan dimension text? Ideally, I would move it where it doesn't conflict with other lines/items. See attachment for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Not with automatic line length display unfortunately. As soon as we get proper labels it will not be a problem. I sometimes make a duplicate line and make it the blank line style then move the whole line but it is extra stuff to keep track of. The other options are to use a dimension line or a referenced line label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a great solution either as it is a challenge to keep the leader lines attached any you will need a little bit of macro know how unless you are happy with %length% displayed in inches.

Renerabbitt Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 You could automate it with macros and breaking it into polylines, orrrrrrrr we could make this way more simple and just drop a text box in..its 4 text boxes..super fast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution SHCanada2 Posted January 24, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 24, 2023 i typically use dimension lines with a blank line style for plot dimensions, because it snaps to the line. move the line, the dimension changes. move the dimension line (that you cannot actually see, but you can select) and the text moves with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either this or doing what @Renerabbittsuggests...keep it simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
