Hello

Can someone explain me exactly how to use the new dimensions tool? I mean editing the dimension. Sometimes, after clicking, I can edit a numerical value, move it, or enter a different value. Sometimes it's completely impossible. How it's working?

Correct answer Doug A Roberts

To edit the dimension text, the dimension object needs to be expanded so it is no longer linked to the object (Object > Expand Appearance, or move the dimension object).
