Dimension format refers to placement of dimension text, arrowheads, and leader lines relative to the dimension and extension lines. For example, you can control how text is placed both horizontally and vertically relative to the dimension line and the extension lines. AutoCAD LT provides several justification settings that facilitate compliance with international standards, or you can choose your own location for the text.
Many of the settings are interdependent. Image tiles in the DDIM Format dialog box update dynamically to illustrate how text appears as you change the settings.
