Hello there,

I did some searching and cannot find out how to do this by default.  I can grab the text and move it so it's sitting in the dimension string, but I cannot have it set by default.  In the settings the closest I can get is 0" which is sitting right on top of the line.  Not in it and I cannot set that gap length to a negative number.  Anyone know how I can do this?

 

Thanks.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm having a similar problem.  I do NOT want to use the manual overrides for dimension strings, but would like for the dimension text to appear BELOW the dimension line.  Revit will not let me use a negative value for the text offset.

Ultimately, what I need is a dim string with imperial values above the line, and metric below, but I do not believe that is possible.  Someone prove me wrong...

Now I know you will come back and want to argue but this is your best answer.

Pretty much what I have done so far, but I gave one a text offset larger than the other.  This leaves me with a single dimension line with TWO lines of text ABOVE the line.  Not too bad, but ONE line above and ONE line below would be perfect.
