Did you try adding <>\XMIN (which puts "MIN" below the dim line

Post by: tedg on January 12, 2016, 02:36:36 PM: Unless this is text wipe-out thing, not sure you can work around that (without removing the background mask in the dim style).

Post by: danallen on January 12, 2016, 02:38:43 PM: I've noticed that if the text is not in home position, the gap appears.

+1

[side note]
I do that allot, create a special dim style with a common prefix or suffix (either beside or below) for plus/minus or "(e)" for existing, etc.
Beats add that to all the dimensions involved.

In some cases working.

DIMTAD = 1
DIMGAP = 1
DIMTVP = 0
DIMTFILL = 0

I can't reproduce the issue with those settings (note: I use BricsCAD).
Can you post a dwg?

Post by: HasanCAD on January 13, 2016, 04:19:27 AM: Attached
Title: Re: DimText delete Dimlines
Post by: roy_043 on January 13, 2016, 04:57:47 AM: This works (at least in BricsCAD):
1.
Restore the position of the dimension text (_DIMEDIT).
2.
Use '\X' instead of '\P' to start the new line.

Yes, that is what I was saying, and it works in AutoCAD too.
There is a right-click option to "Reset Text Position" too
