    If you just want to do one or two just pick one, go to properties, in text over ride type (<>).
    If you need to do a bunch then define a dimstyle and set the prefix and suffix to ( and ).

    Hi "GIDA2" ( Sorry, I do not know your real name )

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD Tips & Tricks forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

    Thanks, Mike

    You might what to also look into alternate dimensions. This is especially helpful if you need to show both metric and imperial measures.
