Is there a way of modifying the dimension string to add a text under the Dimension string (without just adding a non connected text string). I know there is a prefix and a suffix, but that adds the text before or after the dimension. I am use to seeing Doors to have 3'-0" above the line and (R.O.) under. Any suggestions on this one.

Sorry, there is no integrated way. If the "Ctrl-Enter" would work also in graphic mode then there would be no problem, but it doesn't work there, only in a dialogue box...

I guess this would be a wishlist item then. Thanks for the feedback

Dimensions can be set to show "opening height" under the dims.

yeah, but it would be good to be able to position the suffix below the line...

Yes, this was the first thing I thought of too.

OR: Have a 'main' dimension prefix/suffix, and and opening dimension prefix/suffix.

That would be good if you were just thinking about R.O. or M.O. but there are so many other uses for multiline text, especially in tight spaces (Varies, V.I.F., Hold). Needs to be a more global option.
