Dimension Texts Tab

The Dimension Texts tab in the Properties dialog box lets you modify dimension text properties. It appears when you right-click a dimension and then select Properties.

This tab contains controls for:



Prefix - Suffix

Inserts either a symbol or a text before the dimension text or a text after the dimension text.

Important:
  • You cannot insert both a prefix and a suffix. Only one can be defined at a time.
  • If you want to remove the symbol before the dimension text, click the Insert Symbol icon and, from the list of symbols that appears, select the None symbol:

Associated Texts

Inserts texts before, after, below and above the main and the dual value. Note the dimension texts positioning:



Dimension score options

When using the Underline, Strikethrough or Overline attributes (refer to Font Tab), specifies the appearance of the line, for the dimension's main value, and possibly dual value (if the Show dual value option is selected in the Value tab. Refer to Value Tab for more information).

Value

The main dimension value and the prefix are taken into account to determine the line's length (but associated texts or tolerances are not).
