NX6 Fake dimensions

NX6 Fake dimensions

(OP)
Is there a way to make fake dimensions in NX6 drafting? I have modeled a long harness with a few breakouts. The view that I created is not to scale for length (nor do I want it to be to scale). I'd rather not use breaks, I just want to create a dimension and manually enter the value.

Create a normal dimension, the use Edit>Annotation>Text,  select the dimension and enter the text you desire.
