The generated measurement is represented with angle brackets (< >). Use
control codes and Unicode character strings to enter special characters or
symbols. See
Control Codes and Special Characters (page 1049).
To edit or replace the generated measurement, delete the angle brackets, enter
the new dimension text, and then choose OK. If alternate units are not turned
on in the dimension style, you can display them by entering square brackets
([ ]). For more information, see Select and Modify Objects.
Rotate Rotates dimension text. This option is similar to the Angle option of
DIMTEDIT (page 350).
Entering 0 places the text in its default orientation, which is determined by
the vertical and horizontal text settings on the Text tab of the New, Modify,
and Override Dimension Style dialog boxes. See
DIMSTYLE (page 314). The
DIMTIH (page 1245) and DIMTOH (page 1248) system variables control this
orientation.
Oblique
The Oblique option is useful when extension lines conflict with other features
of the drawing. The oblique angle is measured from the X axis of the UCS.
