How to rotate dimension text

How to rotate dimension text

Hi,

 

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

 

This is what I mean:

Old:

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:

You are correct, I will move the post!

 

Thank you for the feedback and instructions. 😊

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,

Please see the attached video

I meant dimension line slant, not dimension text slant

@Van_AG  I think videos are set to be moderated, maybe the moderators don't get notifications, not sure.

Hi,

I never embed videos directly into the text of the answer. I always add them as an attachment.
