Is there a value or formula you can apply to a dimension in a draft that will hide the dim or overide it so you can place text between the extension lines? TIA

I've seen it in other software.

If you’ve got your toolbars set up like mine and I’m understanding your question it’s easy.

Create your dimension.

Select it (goes pink)

Go to the Select Tool – Dimension type (top tool bar) and select the grayed out x. This hides the actual dimension value.

Go to the Select Tool – Prefix and type in the text you want, probably in the prefix box.

Hope it helps.
