Centered text dimension

[cubalibre000]

Hi,
as the image attached, I would like the dimension text aligned to the center.
It's possible ?
If yes, how ?

Thank you...

To the 'center' of WHAT?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Your text will always be out there as there is nothing to center the dimeinsion to in its current location. If you make the text smaller and it fits between the arrowheads, then you can have a 'centered' dimension.

You could also use a 'Narrow' Dimension with a text 'stub', as shown below:

I think he means centered on the block of text that is below the dimension. If that is the case, yes you can get it centered; change the alignment position of the text to one of the 'middle' options, then you should be able to get the dimension to associate to the block of text (if the text moves, the dim will follow.

Hi,
thank you to all for participating to my problem.
I attach what I would like.
Which setting in the dimension style and which setting in the note style to obtain this ?

Thank you...

Set your text and dimension to use one of the 'center' alignment options (center top, center middle, or center bottom). You can then use the origin tool to achieve a vertical alignment (text to dim or dim to text) that will be associative.

Depending on your text and dimension options you may be able to associate them at the creation of the dim or text.

Hi cowski,
I've tried but I'm not able to accomplish as I need.
If you have time, can you post a little video ?
If you have NX7 or less, can you post an example ?

Thank you...

Here is an example in NX6 format. The drafting entities were associated by using the 'origin' tool.

Hi cowski,
thank you for the patience demonstrated, but your example doesn't follow my request.
Please see the image that I previously attached.
Anyway, doesn't lose time again.
I understand that it's not possible.

Thank you again...

If you don't mind the text and dimension both being on the same side as the arrows you can use appended text.

Hi cowski,
yes if the text was under the line, but on the ISO standard is not contemplated, maybe ANSI.
Anyway...thank you again.

Thank you...
