	How to return dimension text to its true (associative) value?
	If you have rewritten the dimension text (value) with a custom text and now you want to return the value to the measured value, rewrite the (e.g. in the Object properties window) dimension text to "<>". AutoCAD will use the true measured value instead of this code.
