Duct size placement annotation offset

Anonymous — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 19:48:32 GMT

When I use the size tag on a piece of duct, it is always at the end of duct. Is there a way to offset this so I dont have to continually drag it to the center of the duct?

See attached picture of where to access the setting.

My setting is set to middle. The text is placed at the node of the duct. I want to be able to have the text placed somewhere else on the item. I have messed with the offset along x-axis but it doesn't seem to change.

Any ideas?

I figured it out. I put a distance in the offset along X. I had to restart my CAD session for the change to make it happen. Now my text is moved off the connector.

Thanks for all of the help.
