Rotates, modifies, or restores dimension text. Changes the oblique angle of extension
lines. The companion command that moves text and the dimension line is DIMTEDIT.

The following prompts are displayed.

Home

Moves rotated dimension text back to its default position.

The selected dimension text is returned to its default position and rotation as specified
in its dimension style.

New

Changes dimension text using the In-Place Text Editor.

The generated measurement is represented with angle brackets (< ). Use control codes
and Unicode character strings to enter special characters or symbols. See Control
Codes and Special Characters.

To edit or replace the generated measurement, delete the angle brackets, enter the
new dimension text, and then choose OK. If alternate units are not turned on in the
dimension style, you can display them by entering square brackets ([ ]).

Rotate

Rotates dimension text. This option is similar to the Angle option of DIMTEDIT.

Entering ۰ places the text in its default orientation, which is determined by the vertical and
horizontal text settings on the Text tab of the New, Modify, and Override Dimension
Style dialog boxes. See DIMSTYLE. The DIMTIH and DIMTOH system variables control this
orientation.

Oblique

The Oblique option is useful when extension lines conflict with other features of
the drawing. The oblique angle is measured from the X axis of the UCS.
