Hi All
Is it possbile to change a dimension number to a symbol or change the value.
e.g. create a dimension across two faces creates a dimension of 10.00. I want to change this to = or to 10.3. Is this possible.

RE: Dimension Symbol Display

Yep, use the annotation editor, you can find this under Edit - Annotation - Text...  . One remark, if you change a dimension you will get a warning that you will lose your assiciativity.

Best regards,

Michäël.

Thanks Michael.

RE: Dimension Symbol Display

Just to add ... From memory I think you need to Right-Click on the dimension and go into the Annotation Editor that way.
Then click on the dimension and edit it.
 

RE: Dimension Symbol Display

Can't get there from the right click menu. You have to go into the edit menu from the menu bar.
