Just learnt a trick from a consultant, and wish I could unlearn it.

I REALLY don't like the idea of overriding dimensions, and maybe shouldn't be sharing this.
Kind of undermines the whole system....

should I post the tip?

Can you overide dimensions with numbers? In previous versions it was only possible to overide a dimension with text, which was really annoying when you actually needed to show a dimension not to scale. I've wanted to use it when there wasn't room for the actual length, but it would have been helpful to be able to tell a contractor what the dimension should be, particularly in details.
