Variable instead of number in Dimensions?
Variable instead of number in Dimensions?
(OP)
Hi Guys,
I have a a few parts that are essentially the same so in the drawing I would like to use one view with a width "W" that I later define in a table.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Chris

We do many dwgs like u mentioned above..we put a Dimension and then Edit Append the text to change number to "W" or any other letter.And use a table for giving details of different parts
I also have a question to Others ,Doing this will make Dimension Manually edited.is it a way to create this Dimension without making it manually edited dimension?

John,
I would only like the dimension to show up as a W instead. The table is just there as a note.

edit > annotation > text > select dimension
replace numbers in the dimension with the text that you want

You have to go into the edit menu. It is not on the right click menu because it isn't something you should be doing often.

You may then need to adjust the line spacing values (in the dimension), in each of the types under "lettering", to make the dimension look good.
