I have done this lot of time in my previous job an year back. but I can't seem to remember what to type between dimension text & the word I want to add in edit text box, so that it appers below dimension line.

THANKS FOR THE HELP

YOU SHOULD ADD THIS TO 'TIP OF THE DAY' SECTION

If you are placing text below a dimension line such as TYP. you can attach the text to the dimension by placing a \X right after the default value "" and typing in your text.

I'm sure you're welcome. These days, you should be able to double-click on the dimension text to invoke TEdit (TEXTEDIT). Then you can go to the end of the dimension text--I use the End key--hit Return and begin typing on the next line.
