Modifying single dimension

Making transition from 2004 to 2010. If I dimension a radius and the text falls where I don't want it, like on top of something, how do I move/stretch or otherwise make it appear in another location. Also, is there a quick way like 2004 to edit decimal places, dimension type, tolerances etc?

Thanks.

You can try clicking on the radius and using the grips to move it.

Try "DIMSTYLE" to set whatever preferences you require.

If only for one dimension, 'MODIFY', 'PROPERTIES' as required.

Like ReMark said, just grab the dimension grip and pull to wherever you need it.

You might like to have ortho and snap off when moving the dimension(s).

I normally just grab it with grips and re-position.

Select the text, right click, then click Dim Text Position. It will give you several options for moving the text and/or the dimension line around.

You can also try the function 'DIMTEDIT' for moving the text..
