Jog in Elevation Dimension

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to add a jog to an elevation dimension? For use when elevation dimensions are close to each other?

You can't jog the string, but you could move the dimension text and add a short arrow from it to the string as done in hand drafting days.
an option, HTH

I think you are talking about dimension strings. I am talking about dimensions on exterior elevations like the ones places at story levels. Thanks

I think Erika is referring to something like this, a line or arc could be added if needed.

Bummer - I was thinking more like the jog a grid is capable of...

[Erika Epstein]

I've often wished for the same ability to jog the ends of the level dimensions. Story Levels can be offset, but its all or nothing, not individual like the grids.

You can manually offset the level dimension markers and move the text of same. Depending on how cluttered it gets, a little arrow, I draw mine with the spline tool, can help maintain clarity.

Make a wish if there isn't one for this. You have my vote.

Perhaps a library part such as shown below would suffice? While this is not a Story Marker that will appear automatically, it does work well when needed.
