Trisha Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I have created a 2D-drawing in idw. Instead of actual dimension I want tocreate the lines, and wright a letter. For example, an H for height or W for width. Is this possible? I`m allowed to add text to dimension generated byinventor, or override actual dimension. But I want to wright only letters Quote
Tiger Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 There should be a LEADER command in Inventor also I assume? That is only a line, an arrow and text - is that what you are after? Quote
Trisha Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 No, I want to use the dimension-lines created by inventor (lines and arrows) and Instead of actual dimension it should stand a letter. The reason for this is is that I have created a part which has several different types, and In sted of make a view for each model, I will create a table where I refer to Hight (H) and Width(W) on the drawing.

Trisha Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 I found it! When you have created the dimension, go to edit dimension and text. You can then choose "hide dimension value" and create your own text Quote
Tiger Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Then I don't see any other way than to override the dimension and add your text that way after you have placed the dimension. Glad you solved it Quote
