I am trying to add a dimension to a line. No arrows appear. It appears to create a new line. The tool I chose was dimension tools (wd) | horizontal (dh).
Platform: Windows 10

Re: Adding dimensions
Looks like you have just to increase the Dimension "Text height" below:

Re: Adding dimensions
Thanks, Husky. Now I can see the text, but nowhere do I see the measurement value. What am I missing?
BTW, the videos on YouTube look much different than the dimension function in my version.

Re: Adding dimensions
Okay, it is working now. I bumped the text size to "2".
Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the reply.
Re: Adding dimensions
This is what it looks like now. Screen shot attached. Text size "1".
Can you apply dimensions, such as inches or mm, to the text?

Re: Adding dimensions
Thanks, Husky. Got it regarding dimension terms.
BTW, the reason that the videos looked different ... I was not using the "aligned" measure tool. Much simpler now.
Appreciate the help.
