Dimension text offset

[tpenna]

I've searched the forum and kbase but can't find an answer.  Sorry if I missed it.

 

I want the text offset of my dimensions to be 0", but I can't find a field in the dimension preferences to do this.  I can make the change to a dimension in the OIP, but I want the text offset to default to 0".

You should be able to control all of those offsets by creating a custom dimension standard in your document. I believe I start talking about it around 1:20 here:

Thanks; I watched this video this morning, and while it doesn't explicitly address dimension text offset, I found the setting which makes the change I need.

I would be helpful if you shared that solution with us tpenna.

 

The question is "how to edit existing dimension standard".

 

Thanks

"It" would be helpful...

 

For some reason this forum has no edit feature.

In the Standard Workspaces

 

File:Document Settings:Document Preferences

 

From the Dimensions pane, click the Custom button.

From the Custom Dimensions dialog box click the New... button. You will create a new custom Dimension Standard based on the currently active standard. Name it and then select it and click the Edit button.

You will then be able to change all of the default offsets about the dimension.

This screen shot is based on the Architectural standard.
