Question

Prefix and basic dimensions

The prefix (such as 12X) is now outside the box. I am revising some "older" drawings and ran into this and found out it is an ENHANCEMENT since WF4. I think as of ASME Y14.5-2009 it should be inside. Is there a setting that will make it behave correctly? I know I could force it by @[12X @D@], but that is a pain!

I'm using WF5

Thanks in advance!

There are several occasions that we have to go old-school with dimension display. The "upgrade" was to click a button to get the box to show up... but the limitation is that it no longer acts the same. Had similar problems with the diameter symbol in some instances.
