I have an Inventor part and drawing. I'm going through the same process in Fusion to compare and learn as I'm not a Fusion user. The part is done. Now, I'm attempting to duplicate an Inventor drawing in Fusion.
I have a question: Is it possible to justify dimension text (see image)? I've poked around looking for the means, I've checked Help. I'm at a loss at this point. Thanks!
Yes, justification is available. If it is a hole callout, you will have to edit it after placement to add the desired justification. Simply double click on it to get the dialog box shown.

Hi John, thanks for responding. Raises more questions though.
Your image looks like a text note is being edited. The title of the panel says "Text."
I have a dimension with text added and the panel title shows "Dimension" - are we talking apples and oranges? Here's what I did....
When editing the dimension, I don't see a "text" dialog panel or a place to access one.
Sorry, as I noted, I'm new to Fusion 360.
Thanks again!
You first image posted suggested that your were using Hole and Thread Notes in Fusion 360 so that is the way I went. Dimensions DO NOT have the ability to add text on multiple lines so you do not need the justification dialog. As I pointed out in one of my previous replies, the justification dialog only appears after you have place the Hole and Thread note and you double click on it to both add symbols and text. In Inventor you would basically do the same thing using the Hole and Thread Note command to callout holes, you would not use the Dimension command.

Hi Lennart,
Thanks for the video. That triggered something. Not knowing the Fusion UI, I didn't go to the Text panel to use a Hole Note. Just didn't click that it would be there - though it should have. That, in turn, caused me to go back and reassess what I was doing to see what else I missed. Thank you!
