line. (DIMTAD system variable)
Vertical position options include the following:
■ Centered: Centers the dimension text between the two parts of the
dimension line.
■ Above: Places the dimension text above the dimension line. The distance
from the dimension line to the baseline of the lowest line of text is the
current text gap. See the Offset from Dim Line option.
■ Outside: Places the dimension text on the side of the dimension line farthest
away from the first defining point.
■ JIS: Places the dimension text to conform to a Japanese Industrial Standards
(JIS) representation.
■ Below: Places the dimension text under the dimension line. The distance
from the dimension line to the baseline of the lowest line of text is the
current text gap. See the Offset from Dim Line option.

line, in relation to the extension lines. (DIMJUST system variable)
Horizontal position options include the following:
■ Centered: Centers the dimension text along the dimension line between
the extension lines.
■ At Ext Line 1: Left-justifies the text with the first extension line along the
dimension line. The distance between the extension line and the text is
twice the arrowhead size plus the text gap value. See Arrowheads and Offset
from Dim Line.
■ At Ext Line 2: Right-justifies the text with the second extension line along
the dimension line. The distance between the extension line and the text
is twice the arrowhead size plus the text gap value. See Arrowheads and
