Stacked Dims
Stacked Dims
(OP)
What do you have to change to get stacked dimensions to be above and below the dimension line, with the dimension line not broken? Primary on top of the line, and secondary below it.

In the DDIm dialog, on the Alternad Units tab, there should be a bullet for dimension Below primary units. Is there?

This is a web site by Leonid Nemirovsky. He has a lisp routine add 2nd line to Dim (#53 at this time) that can split the text for you.

Be warned: this will move all of your text that is not in the home position, but then you can grip the text and make slight adjustments and keep the dim line. If you move it too far a leader line will appear, which is undesirable.
RE: Stacked Dims
I tried these suggestions, and they don't work. The dimedit - home idea still breaks the line. I tried adjusting the text offset from the dimension line, and it had no effect. When doing alternate units, putting the \X in the dimension string (ddedit) it just adds a \X after the alternate unit.
Using Acad 2004 by the way.

RE: Stacked Dims
Is it really necessary that the line be there?
If not then I wouldn't worry about it. If so then you may just want to either explode the dimension or set the dimaso to 0 before creating the dimension and then modify the line to suit your needs OR you could just do the dimension and draw a line in the area where it breaks the dim line. That way you keep your dimension intact with associativity.
RE: Stacked Dims
I work with stacked dims, too. For Openings e.g.. ADT can do that. Without I would take a "text" or "mtext" and move it under the dimline...:(
Search for a third party tool, which can do that. I know one, but it's not aviable in Your language, and it costs ~200US$. Maybe You find freeware. If yes, post the link.

RE: Stacked Dims
I can't really think of any other suggestions without actually looking at the drawing to really dig into it.
