SolidWorks - dual dimensions

SolidWorks - dual dimensions

SolidWorks - dual dimensions

(OP)
Can you please tell me if there is a way to change the location of the dual dimension? The only place I can put it right now is above the primary dimension.
I looked everywhere (except the proper location) and I can't seem to find it.

RE: SolidWorks - dual dimensions

Jerry,

The place you need to go is Tools-Options-Document Properties Tab-Detailing.

In the "Dimensioning Standard" area of the screen you will see dual dimensions display. You can set the dual dimensions to be shown on top, bottom, right and left.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,
Jon Knabenschuh

Thank you Jon. My problem was that I was going directly to "Dimensions" located under "Detailng".
