Way to reset text-position of a dimension?

In AutoCAD there is an option to reset the text position of a dimension value when you moved it.

Does Bricscad also have an option like this? I cannot seem to find something like it.

Thanks again for the help!

    One of the items in the context menu for a dimension is "Restore text position." I think that does what you want.

    You might have to hold the right-click for half a second in order to get context menus.

    See DIMTEDIT. In this case you would use the restore option.

    Many thanks again Anthony and Jason. With your comments I figured out that I had my right-mouse-configured in a way I don't like it ;-)
    Quad is a fantastic feature, but the right-click giving a context-menu and quad as hover is the best of both worlds.

    Thanks again! Using Bricscad is getting more and more fun although I wish the team would do something about the icon-size on 4k resolution. That is either too small or too big. Would like a more AutoCAD-size as an intermediate. But that's something for a different topic/wishlist topic I guess.

    We've added a right click context menu to the resources section of our website. This is a partial menu that you can add alongside your existing to give access to some of the common tools users look for coming from AutoCAD.

    On my BricsCAD v14, I will often use the Home command. Just start into the Dim command prompt, and type "Home" then select all the dims you want to send to its default position.

    Excellent tip Joe!!! Thank you very much for this simple but highly effective way to restore (multiple) dim-text positions :smiley:
