Rotate dimension text.
Rotate dimension text.
What I have is the image on the left. What I want is the image on the right. Is there any way to force SW to do this? I can't find a way to get a diameter dimension to rotate 90 degrees.

I don't think it's possible. There are several SPRs requesting it.

Re: Rotate dimension text.
I can too, and it's not that difficult if it's just a one time thing. I wouldn't want to have to do it all the time.jcapriotti wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 5:11 pm I can give you a crappy workaround, not sure it's worth it though.

Re: Rotate dimension text.
I assume I can make a note and link it to the dimension value. Whatever the suggestion, I'm probably not going to want to do it 15 times.

Pretty much it, note and link to dimension value. I think the reason you can't rotate it is it's per Ansi standard.

Re: Rotate dimension text.
That was what I had in mind, but after seeing your screenshot I thought of something else that might work in this situation. Have you considered hiding the dimension lines? You could set one dimension up that way and save it as a Style, which could then be easily applied to the other ones.

Re: Rotate dimension text.
What about using ordinate dimensions?
