Dimension prefix and suffix: where's the dropdown?

[clog boy]

Hi all,
We're very glad with some of the new functionality in RAC2009 and are slowly growing accustomed to the benefits. One of the changes many users will be very pleased with is the ability to click a dimension value and replace it with text or add a prefix and suffix. However the prefix and suffix have been removed from the instance properties window.

Suppose you'd want to white out everything in a dimension except the dimension value, and make it this style

◄ 1234 ►

then you can do this to one dimension, and check it from the prefix and suffix dropdown list in the instance properties for all other instances. Sadly you can't use 'select all instances' and then add the prefix and suffix. We use this a lot for our end user drawings to better annotate that which we want them to buy.

All of this doesn't matter much anymore since it's been revamped for RAC2009. The prefix and suffix don't have the dropdown list anymore.


Anyone knows of a proper way to do this in a quicker way?
