You can rotate measurements (dimensions) in AutoCAD by editing the dimension and specifying the desired rotation angle. Here's how:
-
Double-click the dimension you want to rotate. This action typically activates the Power Dimensioning ribbon contextual tab.
-
Navigate to the Edit Geometry panel. Within the Power Dimensioning tab (or equivalent, depending on your AutoCAD version), locate the panel that contains editing tools for dimension geometry. It is often labeled "Format" and then "Edit Geometry."
-
Specify the rotation angle. Select the rotation command (often represented by an icon) within the Edit Geometry panel. You will then be prompted to enter the angle by which you want to rotate the dimension. Input the angle (in degrees) and press Enter. The dimension text and associated geometry will then rotate by the specified amount around the dimension's insertion point.
It's important to note that the precise location and naming of these options might vary slightly depending on your AutoCAD version and workspace configuration. You might need to explore the ribbon or toolbar options to find the correct commands.
