TIP: Text under Dimension Line

[allanyz]

After placing a dimension, use Mtext editor and add this switch after the Dimension text \X (note it has to be a capital X) and type "TYPICAL". Example text string will look like this <>\XTYPICAL. Observe the results.

That's okay teiarch, everything is NEW to somebody. When something "NEW" is posted to you, chances are, it's old hash to X #'s of others.

Unfortunately, it will break the dimension line if you move the text away from its default position (at least thru A2K4). Hope they fix that some day.

Try setting DIMGAP to something small like 0.02. It might help.
