Editing dimension text, etc.

[mbostonsprint]

I am making some drawings that require a fair amount of individual attention to dimensional callouts, and I am not finding ways to do what I want. Specifically --

1.  I would like to be able to mix 3-place and 4-place decimals in the drawing.

2. I would like to be able to add parentheses to dimensions to indicate as reference dims where shown on a different sheet of the drawing.

Generally, it seems that the text of a dimension is not editable. Please let me know if I am missing something.

Hi,

1. mixed decimals > no

2. add and position text to dimensions

3. down in the middle > edit dimension > size

Mixed decimals are easily set by first assigning your decimal style for the complete drawing and then simply double clicking on a dimension to change it's individual precision.  Reference dimensions are easily set using the same method.  Take a look at the screencast.
