Applying parameters of measures in behind?

Post by Krischu » Fri Feb 06, 2026 1:49 pm

Assumed I have applied a measure and have finalized it in the drawing. It's an angled measure but by chance I forgot to apply an angle, say -45°. Can I select the measure and apply the -45° afterwards? Or change the prefix in behind? Looks like I can change the prefix and text, but when I change the dimension angle the measured dimension gets distorted.

Hi,

For placed as by default that should not happen.
When re-arranged then a change to its properties, position or whatever may revert to default placement.

Perhaps default placement is what you call distorted.
Otherwise an example would be handy.
