Turning Off and On Individual Extension Lines
You can turn a single extension line off or on, turn all of a dimension's extension lines off or on, or toggle all of a dimension element's extension lines.
Changing the View with Which Dimension Text is Oriented
By default, the orientation of text in a dimension element is controlled by the view in which the first data point was entered when the element was placed.
Changing Dimension Text Justification
The CHANGE DIMENSION JUSTIFICATION key-in lets you change the justification of text in a dimension to center, left, or right. The fromstyle option returns the text to the default location from the dimension style.
