2 Dimension Questions

Jan 09, 2007 2 Replies

I'm in the process of updating & improving some existing drawings done by my customer. On some drawings they have ordinate dimensions but with arrows. I've seen this before when I've used ordinate dimensions in a sketch but never on a drawings. 1. Where is the setting or method to change these to conventional ordinate dimensions?



On other drawings the dimension text appears above the dimension line. I can't find the setting to change these to dimension text in the dimension line. I change this in the options (I think) but they don't update on the drawing. 2. Any ideas on this one?



Thanks in advance, Jeff


I believe this is changed by changing the dimension std from ISO to ANSI under document settings

Look in the Help menu under "chain" dimensions
