3D Dimensions with 2D Text

Look at the text style. In isometric display, the text looks it's oblique. If you reverse the obliquing factor in the style, you'll probably get what you want. You may have to tinker with the number and use a plus and a minus style, but that's a quick and dirty solution.

In the image below the UCS icon shows world coordinates. The block is dimensioned on a plane parallel to the ZX plane.  Its Extrusion Direction DXF group code 210 is 0,-1,0. The text is oriented to be read by a vector point in the negative Y direction.

 

The second block shows the result of changing the 210 code to (0.5744,-0.5744,0.5744) a vector perpendicular to an isometric viewing angle (0.5744 ~ sqrt(3)) .  Note the change in all the dimension graphics as well as the value of the dimension as the dimension points are projected to a different plane.

 

The third block is the result of exploding the dimension and rotating the text by -30° about an axis perpendicular to the viewing plane and the repositioning it.

 

I'd try to live with the text on the plane of the dimension.

Thanks for the replies guys.

 

I can live with the current presentation...  Just wanted to make it easier for the workshop to read.
