Repositioning Dimension Texts, Extension Lines, and Dimension
Chains
Use this procedure to reposition individual dimension texts, extension lines,
and dimension chains on an AEC dimension.
The length of extension lines and the distance between dimension chains are
set in the AEC dimension style, and are identical for all chains and all extension
lines in the dimension. In some cases, you need to override those settings,
and display varying extension lines or chain distances. Also, you might need
to move individual dimension texts to a different location.
Viewing AEC Dimension Move All Chains and Edit in Place grips
AEC dimensions offer you the ability to change the display of a dimension
with direct editing via grips.
NOTE You can only display and move the in-place grips of an AEC dimension if
the underlying AutoCAD dimension style has the correct text placement settings.
To ensure this, select the AEC dimension, right-click, and click AEC Dimension
Style. Then, select the display representation where you want the changes to
appear, and select Style Override. If necessary, click , and click the Other tab.
Click Edit, and in the Dimension Style Manager click Modify. Click the Fit tab, and
select Over the dimension line, without a leader for Text Placement.
