Select dimension: Select a dimension object
After you select a single associative dimension, AutoCAD LT prompts for the new location of the dimension text.
Enter text location (Left / Right / Home / Angle): Specify a point or enter an option
If you move the cursor to position the dimension text and DIMSHO is on, the dimension updates dynamically as it drags. Vertical placement is set in the DDIM Format dialog box and determines whether text appears above, below, or in the middle of the dimension line. See Vertical Justification.
Left justifies the dimension text along the dimension line. This option works only with linear, radial, and diameter dimensions.
Right justifies the dimension text along the dimension line. This option works only with linear, radial, and diameter dimensions.
Returns the dimension text to its default position.
Changes the angle of the dimension text.
Text angle: Specify an angle
The center point of the text doesn't change. If the text moves or the dimension regenerates, AutoCAD LT keeps the orientation set by the text angle. If you enter an angle of 0 degrees, the text returns to its default orientation. When the Inside Horizontal option is selected for text in the DDIM Format dialog box, the dimension text aligns with the dimension line. The Inside Horizontal option has no effect on dimension text when the angle you specify is other than 0.
