I can't seem to find a way to have my dimension text vertical (parallel to the dimension Lines) instead of the standar horizontal way.

I think it is the standard to make the text parallel to the dim. line. So can you show in a picture what you problem is?

Wrong

Do you use à template? Is yes which one? If no what selection do you make in terms of the standard?

Hi Mark,

For now I wasn’t using any template.

I’m trying to create my own template but this is one of the things I couldn’t change.

When I use Free A3 Horizontal mm the text is vertically reading, but still I want my dimension in the middle of the line, not above the line

That' s not a problem. This setting you can find in either the application options (Tools-options-dimension) or in the document properties (file-properties) if you find it in this last one you have to set it when your template is empty and open. Set the setting and save your template in config\template

Good luck

Hi. When I have been creating a draft document. I set the text direction with Tools-Dimension Style-Advanced Options then check box Text Direction and highlite what I want for length and angle.

Yes but we are talking version 6.14 not version 7.x [emoji3]

Ahh my bad, I did wonder.

Still havn't found the right way
When using the Modify Element (wrench tool) I can change it like the PrintScreen. But when using Tools>Options>Dimensions there is no such option.
