Dear All,

I'd like make a dialog with a picture demonstrating dimensions of the reusable part. If making this picture in 2D drafting, I can override the dimension text to a meaningful one as below. But if in 3D view by PMI dimension, I can't do the same thing, and I haven't found where to override the PMI dimension text.

Any advise or workaround?

The dialog box most likely uses a raster image; generate the basic image where you like (drafting, modeling, etc), then edit it to your liking with a graphic design program (photoshop, gimp, windows paint, etc).

For your image can you turn you 2D view to "shaded" and get the same result?
 
In the past, I've done 3D view dimensioning, before PMI... Work in Expanded view and move/orient your X-Y plane to where/how you want to put your dimension and dimension, then edit text, etc...
