Dimensions, add Text before or after


Recommended Posts

Is there a way to add Text before or after a dimension. Such as adding "NOM." after dimension "100" ... end result "100 NOM.".

Using the Text override is not an option because if I change scale, I may forget to update.

There are a couple of different ways to add text to a dimension.  A simple Internet search on "add text to AutoCAD dimensions" will bring up plenty of links to click on.  Is the text going to be above or below the dimension?

When you add a pair of angle brackets <> in your text property, that inserts the measurement and allows you to use any other text around it. Your example would appear as "<> NOM" in the text field but show up as "100 NOM" in the dimension (assuming the measurement is 100).
