Text below angular dimensions in drawings

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.

Changing default_angdim_text_orientation not help.
