View Direction
Controls the dimension text viewing direction. (
DIMTXTDIRECTION (page
1289) system variable)
View Direction includes the following options:
 Left-to-Right: Places the text to enable reading from left to right.
 Right-to-Left: Places the text to enable reading from right to left.
Offset from Dim Line
Sets the current text gap, which is the distance around the dimension text
when the dimension line is broken to accommodate the dimension text.
This value is also used as the minimum length required for dimension line
segments.
Text is positioned inside the extension lines only if the resulting segments are
at least as long as the text gap. Text above or below the dimension line is
placed inside only if the arrowheads, dimension text, and a margin leave
enough room for the text gap. (DIMGAP (page 1271) system variable)
Alignment
Controls the orientation (horizontal or aligned) of dimension text whether it
is inside or outside the extension lines. (
DIMTIH (page 1283) and DIMTOH (page
1286) system variables)
Horizontal
Places text in a horizontal position.
Aligned with Dimension Line
Aligns text with the dimension line.
ISO Standard
Aligns text with the dimension line when text is inside the extension lines,
but aligns it horizontally when text is outside the extension lines.
