Command Prompts:
Specify feature location:
Specify leader endpoint or [Xdatum/Ydatum/Mtext/Text/Angle]:
Leader endpoint
Uses the difference between the feature location and the leader endpoint to determine whether it is an X or Y ordinate dimension. If the difference in the X ordinate is greater than Y ordinate, the dimension measures the X ordinate of the specified point. Otherwise, it measures the Y ordinate.
X datum
Measures the X ordinate and determines the orientation of the leader line and dimension text. Users can specify the endpoint at the Leader Endpoint prompt.
Y datum
Measures the Y ordinate and determines the orientation of the leader line and dimension text. Users can specify the endpoint at the Leader Endpoint prompt.
Mtext
Edits the dimension text by In-place Text Editor. Users can enter special characters and symbols by control codes or Unicode character strings.
If alternate units are not turned on in the dimension style, users can enter square brackets ([]) to display them.
The current dimension style determines the appearance of the generated measurements.
Text
Customizes the dimension text at the Command prompt.
The generated dimension measurement is displayed in angle brackets (\<>). If
alternate units are not turned on in the dimension style, users can enter square brackets ([]) to display them.
User can reset the dimension text properties in Text tab of the New, Modify, and Override in Dimension Style Manager
dialog box.
Angle
