Moving associated texts on dimensions so that the whole thing sits on the leader line

Moving associated texts on dimensions so that the whole thing sits on the leader line

(OP)
Morning... I've been bothered by this one for a while now. In the attached image, the associated text is the "2x". I'd like to shift the whole thing over to the right a little bit. Any ideas how?
I've tried to make it a fake dimension but couldn't insert the diameter symbol.

Cheers
Simon

Hi Sriram- Thanks for responding.

Sorry, I should have been clearer- this is what I'm currently doing, although admittedly I'm spacing my dimension texts slightly more. I'd like the whole thing to be underlined with my spacing- is this possible? I can't add the "2X" as the prefix as then I won't be able to use the diameter symbol.

Cheers
Simon

The easy way to do this should be to go to Tools > Options > Mechanical > Drafting > Manipulators. In those options, check the box for the white double-ended arrow called Move Value. Then in drafting workbench, you should get the option to simply drag the values as you like.

Hope that helps
Mark
