Dimension Edit (Home / New / Rotate / Oblique) <Home>: Enter an option or press ENTER
DIMEDIT affects dimension text and extension lines on one or more dimension objects. The Home, New, and Rotate options affect dimension text. The Oblique option controls the angle of extension lines.
Moves dimension text back to its default position.
Select objects: Select one or more dimension objects
The selected dimension text is returned to its default position and rotation as specified in its dimension style.
Changes dimension text using the Multiline Text Editor dialog box.

Enter the new dimension text, or choose OK to accept the default measured length.You can use Unicode character strings to express special characters. Enclose format strings for alternate units in square brackets ([ ]). Strings for prefixes and suffixes should precede or follow angle brackets (< >). AutoCAD LT draws the dimension measurement in place of the < > characters. Accepting the default (< >) for the new text string uses the actual dimension measurement as the text.
Select objects: Select one or more dimension objects
AutoCAD LT changes the original dimension text to the text you entered in the Multiline Text Editor dialog box.
Rotates dimension text. This option is similar to the Angle option of the DIMTEDIT command.
Enter text angle: Specify an angle
To place the text in its default orientation, enter an angle of zero. The default orientation of the dimension text is determined by the Inside horizontal and Outside horizontal settings in the Format dialog box of DDIM or alternately the DIMTIH and DIMTOH dimensioning system variables.
Select objects: Select one or more dimension objects
Adjusts the obliquing angle of the extension lines for linear dimensions. AutoCAD LT creates linear dimensions with extension lines perpendicular to the direction of the dimension line. This option is useful when extension lines conflict with other features of the drawing.
Enter obliquing angle (press ENTER for none): Enter an angle or press ENTER
