lamensterms Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Hi Is it possible to get 2D (flat) text display for dimensions in 3D space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I'd stick with the one labeled "what i've got" as it is the more acceptable solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Dont think a dim has a rotate about dim axis. Maybe only in dim plane. You could draw a dim no text then add text with twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberAngel Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 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.

lrm Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamensterms Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Thanks for the replies guys. I can live with the current presentation... Just wanted to make it easier for the workshop to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
