Rahul,



I don't think you can change the sd# values but once it is actually a
feature, you get just d# values. You can edit the d# to a name by
simply RMB the dimension and select properties. Then under the
Dimension Text tab, edit the name.

If you change the dimension text from @d to @s, you'll be able to see the name in the graphics window. I think it'll show up on drawings, too.

There are a few names that are not allowed, like 'g' and other symbols proe has reserved.

It also shows up in family tables, which makes them much easier to deal
with.
