A dimension's default value should NEVER be replaced with other numbers. If your dimension doesn't show the number you expect, change the object, not the label. Replacing the default value with text such as "V.I.F.", "EQ.", or "SEE PLAN", is generally acceptable. Editing dimension text is easiest with the DDEDIT command (Shortcut: ED), although you can use the Properties window as well.

About the blog
Welcome to Kate's CAD Tips!
I've been sending these tips out to my office once a week for about three years now, and decided to start the blog as a way to put them all in one place. Who knows, maybe they'll help somebody else out there too!
Some of the tips are pretty basic, but hey, we all had to start somewhere.
Most of the tips apply to AutoCAD 2004 & up -- I'll try to note if it's only available in later versions, but no promises. And ALL the tips apply to AutoCAD LT.
As always, if you have a tip you'd like to see featured, send it on in!
