jakez Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I have a lot of tight dimensions and just want to turn the text within the dimension by 90° as seen in attached jpg. (1'-9 1/2" dimension shown is not a solution but a very slow workaround) It seems like this should be somewhere within VW...? Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I've often wondered about that too. One may do what you want if the Dimension is 90º but not if it's 180º/0º. You should start a Wishlist thread, to allow for CUSTOM in the Alignment of a Dimension line. I would hope this could also be a Custom Dimension so one could use the Magic wand tool to change these Dimensions quickly. I think at present the only way to alter this would be to Ungroup the Dimension to change it to its constituent parts, Group it & manually rotate the Dimension's text. If I were to do this I would add something like a leading zero as a reminder that this is no longer a real dimension. Quote Link to comment
jakez Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Unfortunately, if I move a framing member (or 10) I'm looking at lots of time changing dims. Thanks, I'll add this to wishlist. Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Yeah, what I generally do in cases like this is exactly what you show with 1'-0 1/2" & offset the one dimension from the rest of the chain. You could switch to Metric and save some drawing real estate.... 1 Quote Link to comment
