Text below angular dimensions in drawings

Hello. 

Please tell me how to move the second dimension line below the angular dimension line as on attached picture? In a usual linear dimension, it is enough to move the text to a new line in "Dimension Text" and it wraps under the line, but in angular size this does not work.

I see.  

Set the drawing detail option 'default_angdim_text_orientation' to 'parallel_outside' then.

 

And when you edit the angular dimension, put carriage a return line and then enter in your additional text

 

See attached.

I assume you are using ISO tolerancing standard.  To verify, in a drawing, file/prepare/drawing properties.  Select the ISO tolerancing standard.  

 

Then select change next to detail options and scroll down till you find;

      default_angdim_text_orientation.  

 

      set that to parallel_fully_outside

 

My result is attached.

Thank you for reply, but it's not what I want.

I mean that in linear dimension, when I move note on next line in "Dimension Text " field it goes to below dim line.

But in the same situation in angular dimension all text stay above dim line.
