Hi A2002 I'm trying to customise a dimstyle. & I can't see the woods for the trees. what's the variables to set so: 1. I have the option to drag the dim around the arc before placing it. 2. I have the option to select the text placement somewhere between the arc & the centre point & line dim line only goes as far as the text, & not to the centre point. I think they maybe the same variable. Thanks in advance Dave F.
