REM: im trying "TO PLACE A ORDINATE DIMENSION INTO A DETAIL VIEW WITH THE ORIGIN OUTSIDE OF THE DETAIL VIEW"
Can you show me in a PDF?

Thanks for your input.

When editing a geometric tolerancing it defaults to the properties diolog box.
Is there a way to set autocad to open the geometric tolerancing dialog box when you double click it? mine opens the Properties diolog box and I have to scrole to the OVERRIDE area and click the diolog opener.

Thanks boldfish, and all the other. I followed the instructions to the letter and it failed!!! Then I did it again and it worked fine. just what I needed. It was my fault: REMEMBER no spaces or funny charicters in the name.
