Home Moves rotated dimension text back to its default position.
The selected dimension text is returned to its default position and rotation as
specified in its dimension style.
New Changes dimension text using the In-Place Text Editor (page 678).
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 1083).
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 355).
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 319). The
DIMTIH (page 1283) and DIMTOH (page 1286) system variables control this
orientation.
