How to adjust my dimension text location
My text placement setting is 'centered', but the text output is clearly not. What am I missing? There has to be another setting overriding this, but I don't know where to look. Any help would be appreciated.

Not consciously. The 'style overrides' designation does appear sometimes. How do I see what specific commands/settings have been overridden?

I don't see any in your image that are not centered as defined in the Dimension Style. You have it centered only in the Horizontal direction -- if you mean you want this kind of centering:
that's the Vertical Text placement position [the slot above the one that is set to Centered], which you have set to Above.

Ahhhh.... I am not looking at this correctly. I am trying to get the text placement from dimension to dimension to align (be 'centered'). The text offset from the dimension line of the three lower dimensions is not consistent. In a long string of dimensions, it really looks bad. I thought this was the way to control the placement. Any ideas how to make the dimension text align?

I think it's because of the stacked fractions, with the denominators falling below the "base line" of the text -- I think the DIMGAP goes between the dimension line and the lowest part of the text, which is bottom of the denominator when there is one in your settings. Can you live with un-stacked fractions? Or a smaller fraction height scale? And/or diagonal instead of horizontal stacking? Some combination could get your denominators to not drop below.

Reducing the fraction text height ratio is definitely helping. I adjusted from 75% to 60% and the text aligns much better. The top row of dimensions uses the new stacked dimension text height ratio.
Apparently AutoCad uses the DIMGAP to control the absolute minimum gap a dimension can have from the dimension line, but what controls the actual text placement. When there isn't a fraction involved the text is not placed with a 1/16" gap, so where is it? And can I adjust it?

Diagonal Stacking gets you closer at the same fraction height ratio:
[the dashed green aligns with the base of the 1 in the middle Dimension]. I don't know of a way to get the "baseline" position consistent other than to use vertically-centered text:
[which I find easier to read correctly anyway when there are multiple parallel-dimension-line strings of them as in your images, but circumstances force them to be much closer together].

I haven't found any method of controlling the text location above the dimension line. Either we accept it as is or change to text centered within the dimension. Thanks for all the help.
