Replacing Dimensions with Custom Text
This section explains how to replace dimension values with custom text.
This is useful when representing parts of the same shape but with different dimensions.
When a dimension is replaced from real value to custom text, the base value, prefix, and suffix will no longer be displayed.
Procedure:
[1] Double-click the dimension or right-click it and select [Modify Dimension] from the context menu then right-click.
[2] The [Dimension Properties] window will open.
[3] Enter your desired text in the [Text override:] field.
When you enter custom text in the Text override field, the base value, prefix, and suffix will be disabled.
[4] The dimension will be replaced by the text entered.
[5] The same procedure can be applied to radius and diameter dimensions.
If you delete the contents of the Text override field, the original dimension value (base value) will be displayed again.
