harley558 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I am power dimensioning items on a drawing. With these dimensions I need to add other text and I would like for all the text to be together but on seperate lines. Would be at least 3 lines of text. How do I acheive this. Most I can do is 2 and that is using line break. Surely there is another way of creating numerous lines of text on a dimension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Wasn't aware that AutoCAD 2013 has Power Diminsions now. Are you using Mechanical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadgad Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 It can be done no problem to your standard rotated dimension in Autocad Vanilla 2013. Are you double clicking on the text to expand the TEXT FORMATTING dialog box? I should imagine you could do it that way, seems weird if you can't.

tomhamlet Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 yes, there is a way. Use the command OPTIONS. When the dialog box appears, go to the AM:Standards tab. from there double click "Dimensions" in the elements box to the right. click the "predefined text..." button. click into the box on the left. from here you can hit enter and add a letter. mine is M. (see attached). hit add. then ok. apply the changes and hit ok. lay your power dimension. When the text highlights to edit, click the Predefined pulldown button on you ribbon. It should be the first one. choose your added style, if used my predefined style it will be: M M Then edit the lines accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
