Add text below a dimension line

[huascarfdez]

Here's nice tip that's been useful to me:

Type ddedit at the command prompt. Select the dimension you want the text to be added.
After the <> add \X and then the text you want to show under the dimension line (with no spaces between the three elements). For example: <>\XMaximum length.

The X must be uppercase (it doesn't work being a lowercase x).

You can also under line with \L you can have line upon line of text with \P ie. top\Pseconed\Pthird

YOU CAN ALSO TYPE 'ED' TO GET TO THE SAME POINT

Cool tip. I have a use for it right now.

I added it to one of my dimension styles as part the primary units suffix.
