Dimension Line Location Determines the angle of the dimension line and
the location of the dimension text. If the dimension is placed off of an arc
resulting in the dimension pointing outside the arc, AutoCAD for Mac
automatically draws an arc extension line.
Mtext Displays the In-Place Text Editor, which you can use to edit the
dimension text. Use control codes and Unicode character strings to enter
special characters or symbols. See Control Codes and Special Characters on
page 1045.
If alternate units are not turned on in the dimension style, you can display
them by entering square brackets ([]). For more information, see Change
Existing Objects.
The current dimension style determines the appearance of the dimension text.
Text Customizes the dimension text at the Command prompt. The generated
dimension measurement is displayed within angle brackets.
To include the generated measurement, use angle brackets (< >) to represent
the generated measurement. If alternate units are not turned on in the
dimension style, you can display alternate units by entering square brackets
([ ]).
Dimension text properties are set on the Text tab of the New, Modify, and
Override Dimension Style dialog boxes.
Angle Changes the angle of the dimension text.
