Dimension Text Justification

[Anonymous]

I have searched for an answer and can't find one. I have spent a lot of time aligning dimension text to look like the picture below, specifically the text from the center line. I have them offset from one another fine with the adjust space tool. Is there a setting for this?

Hi @Anonymous, here in the forum, we all are happy to help. Could you please develop a little bit more of your problem? I'm sorry, but it wasn't that clear for me, just with the photo you uploaded. Please give us all the hints to be able to help you 😉

Best regards!

I want my text to justify left like the first pic and not justify center like the second pic. I have to move them with grips and it is time consuming.  I am hoping someone can point me to a setting or something that will make the text auto justify left so at the very least I can snap to a construction line.

Could you post a file with your current settings and a couple of examples, personally I believe it may be a mater of setting fit to either and text placement to beside. As far as them lining up, that may be a matter of which dimension style you choose for your end goal, I'm thinking its a settings thing but I mostly use the align style (point to perpendicular - done!).

I'd also say post your question in the ACAD forum, its more of a Autocad thing and not a C3D thing. You might get better results.

Try Annotate ribbon tab -> Dimensions panel -> Adjust Space command (in the upper right are of panel)

or DIMSPACE in the command line

I coincide with @rl_jackson. It would be better to post this question in the AutoCAD Forum. However, trying hard to help you, here I show you what I think might solve that.

In the Dimension Style Manager, select the style you are using for dimensions and Modify. In the modify window, select the Text tab, then, in the "text placement options," set what is better for you to automatically place the text of the dimension when added in the model in the location of your preference.

I hope this helps. Best regards!
