Need help adding GD&T to a dimension with extra text

Need help adding GD&T to a dimension with extra text

I am running Pro E Wildfire 5.0:

I am trying to find a way to add GD&T to a dimension in a drawing, but the dimension has "extra" text. I want the GD&T to be located right below the entire "dimension" as shown below: (the .328 below is the actual dimension, everything else has been added in the properties tab)

correct gdt.JPG

However, the GD&T cannot be created "As A Free Note" This seems to cause stacking of the GD&T boxes in our system, which ends up duplicating it 30+ times over itself.

When I try and add the GD&T as a "Dimension", it ends up locating the box below the first line of text:

Wrong gdt.JPG

I'm wondering if there's a way to embed this - e.g. add "&g0" to the end of the dimension? I've attempted this, but cannot find a way to link it together.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Create the Gtol on the model and reference this in a note.

Either add a note to the model or drawing using the "&d" value of the dimension.

You can do it manually:
