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.
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 on page 1235.
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.
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. The DIMTIH and
DIMTOH 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.
