View Direction
Controls the dimension text viewing direction. (DIMTXTDIRECTION 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 system variable)
