Hi,

The following picture is from Creo 2.0, but I guess this should work in WF3 as well.

According to all the conventions of drafting practive, the "2X" belongs outside the box.

But if you insist, You can add that to Jakub's method.

It can go inside the box. You can look on the cover of ASME Y14.5-2009 and see that they put the 8X inside the basic box of the 45degree symbol.

Veerangowda,

Why are you putting a 2x on a basic linear dimension. You might be able to use symmetry lines to achieve what you want. Can you post a larger picture to see where these dimensions are going?

I'll be damned I guess PTC needs to do a bit more work on the basic dimension feature
