creo1 Drawing Setup option documentation for: text_orientation            


text_orientation

text_orientation
controls orientation of dimension text in the drawing.
note
the angdim_text_orientation detail option controls the display of angular dimensions (not text orientation).
default and available settings
you can flip through the various arrow directions for each orientation setting. while moving a dimension, you can simultaneously right-click and cycle through the displays for the designated text orientation setting.
the following examples have the default_dim_elbows detail option set to yes.

iso_parallel_diam_horiz

for the following arrow display, the elbow of a diameter dimension always extends through to the end of the text. to control the elbow extension beyond the text, use the dim_text_gap detail option.
