How to split text above and below the dimension line

[mikec]

hello all. I am wondering how I make my dimension look like    2.249"  top dimension and bottom dimension

                                                                                                                2.245"

Can anybody help me?

Thank you,

MIke

Hi Mike (@mikec),

One way that text can be split above and below the dimension line by adding \X where you want the break. Note, it must be a capital X.

Please let me know if this answers your question. 

All the best,

Hi Cheryl, is there a way to adjust (increase) the Text offset? When doing this?

Cheers

This thread is sooooo wrong and it just messed me up so it needs to be fixed right now. It's <>\X not JUST \X

Hi People, 

Does anyone know how to make multiple lines? See the attached png. 

I tried using e.g. GIB TO \X COLUMN GIB \X TBC however it only seems to allow one \X

anyone done this? 

Cheers,

Wolf

The \X function only allows you to put part of the text below the dim line.

If you want to put the TBC part on another line, treat it as you would an MTEXT box. Either use the return key or contract the text box with the slider.
