# DIMTVP System Variable [GstarCAD 2022](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2022/Index.md) → [System Variables](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2022/System%20Variables/(System%20Variables).md) → [D](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2022/System%20Variables/D/(D).md) ## Function Description: The DIMTVP system variable is used to control the vertical position for dimension text above or below the dimension line. | | | | --- | --- | | Type | Real | | Saved in | Drawing | | Initial value | 0.0000 | It uses the DIMTVP value when the DIMTAD is off. The vertical offset is created by text height and DIMTVP value. Setting the DIMTVP to 1, the DIMTAD is set to be on. The dimension line will be broken to place dimension text when the absolute value of DIMTVP smaller than 0.7. ## Other versions with matching text [GstarCAD 2016](../../../2016/System%20Variables/D/DIMTVP%20System%20Variable.md) · [GstarCAD 2017](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2017/System%20Variables/D/DIMTVP%20System%20Variable.md) · [GstarCAD 2018](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2018/System%20Variables/D/DIMTVP%20System%20Variable.md) · [GstarCAD 2019](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/System%20Variables/D/DIMTVP%20System%20Variable.md) · [GstarCAD 2020](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/System%20Variables/D/DIMTVP%20System%20Variable.md) · [GstarCAD 2021](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2021/System%20Variables/D/DIMTVP%20System%20Variable.md)
