Example: User Text in Dimensions
In this example, the primary dimension measurement is 5.08, and the alternate
dimension measurement is 2.00. The primary units have the suffix H7/h6,
and the alternate units have the suffix inches.
At the text prompt, while creating the dimension, you enter the following
format string:
<> H7/h6\XSee Note 26\P[ ]
The angle brackets represent the primary units, and the square brackets
represent the alternate units. The \X separates text above the dimension line
from text below the dimension line. The \P is a paragraph break.
The resulting text appears as follows:
Control Dimension Values
The numeric values displayed in dimensions can appear in several formats.
You can also control how numeric distances are represented.
Control the Display of Dimension Units
The numeric values of dimensions can be displayed as a single measurement
or in two measurement systems. In either case, you can control details of how
the numeric values are presented.
The settings for primary units control the display of the dimension values,
including the unit format, the numeric precision, and the decimal separator
style. For example, you can enter the diameter symbol as a prefix, as shown
in the illustration. Any prefix you specify replaces the prefixes normally used
for diameter and radius dimensions (unicode 2205 and R, respectively).
