What config in the drawing config file controls whether a "Limits" dimension is Lower-Higher (side by side) vs Higher/Lower (above and below)?

ProWorkAround:

 

Making sure that the default_tolerance_display_style: std_asme

 

A new dimension was created and now its hyphenated.

Then delete  erase old dimension (in case the stacked version is used in another instance and will disappear from those instances).

Oddly enough, it doesn't seem to be doing anything in my test drawing.  Hmmm.  (Creo Parametric 6.0.5.0)

Here are some additional references:

Again, I can't actually get this to work.  Please let me know if it works for you.

Server reboot causing other issues. I'll have to get back to this later.

Hi, 

 

It looks like this option might be the one you want to mess around with. I did a quick test and it looks like the orientation of the dimension matters. This seems a little odd and definitely inconvenient. There's also separate settings for the other types of dimensions.

Doesn't this config have to do with the text being inline with, above or below the leader?
