Moving associated texts on dimensions so that the whole thing sits on the leader line

Morning... I've been bothered by this one for a while now. In the attached image, the associated text is the "2x". I'd like to shift the whole thing over to the right a little bit. Any ideas how?
I've tried to make it a fake dimension but couldn't insert the diameter symbol.

Cheers
Simon

Hi Sriram- Thanks for responding.

Sorry, I should have been clearer- this is what I'm currently doing, although admittedly I'm spacing my dimension texts slightly more. I'd like the whole thing to be underlined with my spacing- is this possible? I can't add the "2X" as the prefix as then I won't be able to use the diameter symbol.

Cheers
Simon

The easy way to do this should be to go to Tools > Options > Mechanical > Drafting > Manipulators. In those options, check the box for the white double-ended arrow called Move Value. Then in drafting workbench, you should get the option to simply drag the values as you like.

Hope that helps
Mark
