Hi,

 

Is there a way to rotate the dimension text by 180°?

 

This is what I mean:

Rotated 180°:

I saw someone suggest to rotate the view 180° in a previous post but this does not work for me.

 

We are currently working with Creo 10.

 

Kind regards,

Jaime

You are in the wrong forum.

 

PTC has two CAD systems:    Creo+ and Creo Parametric    and     Creo Elements Direct.

 

Which makes it confusing.

 

More, for Creo Elements Direct:

- The 3D software name is Modeling, and

- The 2D software name is Drafting.

 

For Creo+ and Creo Parametric, use only this tab:

    i think it is not possible by config or dtl options.

    The only way if the dimension line not vertical but a little bit slanted counterclockwise for example 0.1 degree

    Then dimension text will be oriented automatically as you want

    Hi,

    I tried the following based on your suggestion, but I don't get the solution I'm looking for.

    Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, so below some images to show what I tried.

    Is this what you meant?

     

    Kind regards,

    Jaime

    Please see the attached video

    I meant dimension line slant, not dimension text slant
