This task will show you how to modify the position of the dimension value text using the mouse.
Open the Brackets_views02.CATDrawing document. Create a distance dimension, for example.

  1. Click Select , if needed.

  2. Select the dimension value text.
     

  3. Drag the value text to the new position.

  4. Click to validate the position.

    Note that as a useful help, you can press the Shift key to use Snapping temporarily (as long as you keep the button pressed).
     

    At any time, you can restore the original value text position. To do this, right-click the dimension you positioned and select Restore Value Position from the contextual menu.
    When using the Restore Value Position option from the contextual menu, note that the Text Before and Text After the dimension value will not be taken into account.
