Adding text to dimensions

I have noticed that when you add text to dimensions the arrow line drops from the side of the dimension to the bottom of the dimension. If you add text below the dimension it will insert a blank line above the adde text.

I have attached a zip file that contains a pdf file as well as my drawing file.

In the same file please look at the 45° dimension. In ver 10 I could click on the line and the inserted center line to get the 45° dimension. In ver 11 you can no longer use the inserted center line to dimension with another line, I had to draw a small line onto the inserted center in order to demension the 45°.

I've been running into the same thing with some of my drawings, and it seems like it's only when you add a suffix.

I saw a thread on this in the Alibre v11 beta forum, guess it got missed. Oops! :roll: :)

I just went back to read that thread and then tried adding text as a sub (below dim.), a super (above dim.) and a prefix. It only happens as a suffix.
