Editing Dimension Text During Placement

It can be useful to edit dimension text while placing dimensions, particularly non-associative dimensions.
To edit text when placing a dimension
  1. When you are placing the dimension, move the input focus to the Key-in window.

  2. When the message “Press <Enter> to edit dimension text” appears in the status bar, press <Enter>. (The time to do this is noted in Dimensioning tool box for each dimensioning tool.)
    The Dimension Text dialog box opens. All fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

  3. Edit the desired field(s).

  4. Click OK.
    For more information, see     To edit text in a dimension element.

Text entered in the Dimension Text dialog box is not associative — it does not change when the dimension element is modified.
