AutoCad 2005 Dimensioning

[mfleming]

Hello.

I'm wanting to have primary & secondary dimensions to be centred in the dim line & have the dim line not break in between the text. This only happens with this new version of ACAD 2005, can anyone help?

Thanks

Matt

You have fooled with all the dim properties in the DDIM dialog and not had success?

Yes, I have tried everything. I can get the primary and alt dims to be centred in dim line but it breaks the line out (doesn't draw the line in between the primary & alt text).

Not sure what they did here but can anyone help out?

You might give this a try..
Select all of the dims you want to change, type in "ch" and then in the text override box of the Text tab, enter "<>\X[]". It should override the dim settings.

no, that didn't work either.

Just double checking, did you leave the quotation marks off?
Just <>\X[]

Yea I tried that. The dim line still breaks before & after the dim text.

Just a check.

- I want Primary on top, Alternative (placed below)
- text field horiz. (centred), vert (centred)
- draw dim line between prim, & sec dims.

Thanks
