Tabulated Dimensions in Drafting
Tabulated Dimensions in Drafting
(OP)
I came across this drawing at my work. Unfortunately the guy who made it is no longer here. How did he create these tabulated dimensions. Specifically how did he replace the number inside the dimension with a letter. The dimension behaves exactly as if it were a regular dimension, so its not just whited out with a note inserted. Thoughts?

That was a super helpful tip. For me the key was to realize that you do not Right Click the dimension and Edit; rather, you go to Alt-Edit > Annotation > Text.
This is great for making inspection and part family drawings.
