If you tried to change a dimension to something like 10'-0", this is not
allowed in the change dimension text. Revit is based upon the model
reflecting the actual model dimensions. The change dimension text is
intended to be for things like (verify in field), etc.

Hope this helps.

Is this the error message you received in response to trying to replace the actual numeric value with a text value in Revit 2009. Then it should be self-explanatory as to what they are not allowing you to do as David stated in his post.
