Automatic Dimension Alignment

Hi all

When I put dimensions on a drawing view, Solid aligns them (so to speak) in its own way, my dimensions often go to the west, which has the gift of annoying me. I have to realign the dimensions each time. Does anyone know if there is an option to check or uncheck to avoid this kind of problem. I'm in SW2012

Hello

Your answer is here.

"To align dimensions to a particular dimension, press Ctrl, select the dimension, and then select the remaining dimensions."

Good luck.

Hello

You can also use automatic reordering at the end of the design:
