Dimension Style Enhancements

Could we get enhancements on dimension styles for dimension text? Right now, if we want to add supplemental text to a dimenion or even replace with text, this ain an instance operation. 

 

I'd like to see the ability to control dimension text via constants or possibly even global parameters. 

 

A specific example is the need for "F.V." underneath all dimensions for existing column grid lines. Therefore I have to click every single dimension on every single sheet and type that in for the text field below the dimension. This would be more efficient as a type property.

Holy cow - I wish I could edit the typos in my post.

With all the cool automatic things Revit does, this one not being a thing is probably the most frustrating. I still keep thinking "This has GOT to be a thing, right???? someone made an app to do this??? it's just a hidden setting somewhere????" PLEASE MAKE THIS A THING!!!!!

Um, yes, and for dimensions not to delete customised text whenever they are altered would be nice.

Please consider to add in the dimension settings to add Text Fields "below" as a preset for certain type of dimensions, in 2022 has been added Prefix and Suffix, Below is not there and is really a pain if you need to add any type of annotation to do it one by one.

Thanks

The PyRevit Add-On has a match tool that allows you to add the override properties of dimension and other elements by clicking the example and then clicking the item you want to convert. It is not exactly what you want but it is faster than opening the override dialogue for every dimension you want to change.
