'Textual Dimensions'
'Textual Dimensions'
(OP)
Hi all,
I need to delete the automatic text in a dimension i.e. the numerical value created with {0:@D} and replace it with some text. When you delete the {0:@D} it is always replaced when you close the window. I just want insert text like ‘Overall Length’ where the value would be in normal dimensions.
Am I missing the point and this can be done with a note with leaders that look like a normal dimension?
Any solution would be great as I only have a few ‘textual dimensions’ to create.
Many thanks in advance, I’m off to bed with my PTC ‘Fundamentals of drawing training guide’!!!

You could also show the dimension symbol name by typing {0:@S} and change the dimension symbol to something like "Length."
