Ability to place dimension along vertical direction
Show an example of what you are looking for.
Creo does not have this ability
vertical dimension with vertical "text" along vertical dimension lines
Solidworks
That dimension does not comply with the requirements of ASME Y14.5-2018, paragraph 4.4.5.2 and figure 4-16.
and this is the reason to do not have this ability to save space and make drawings look better
Over the years, I have been using PTC CAD products for over 20 years, the users have continuously asking PTC to make their drafting package create drawings that conform to international standards.
I have no real issue with them providing additional text placement options, but it should not be a default setting.
If you want PTC to consider this as an enhancement request, then create a new idea in the Creo Ideas page and fill out the 5 items required for an idea to be considered.
Whatever your preference, before clicking the position of the dimension, right click and select orientation.
For an existing dimension, edit the properties of the dimension.
don't understand how you did it
i did try to play with orientation nut its for orientation of dimension nit dimension text
no I will NEVER do it because this form is as unfriendly like Creo it selves
if they are interested they should read this boards
Sorry, I made a mistake. To change the orientation of the text, edit the properties of the dimensions:
Text Props > Orientation > Parallel
