try to use the origin ucs  then place it to where you want to put your dimension.

Hello dilibere, please find here enclosed a DWG file with explanations, hope this will be usefull.
In my files I have saved as :
G+ the UCS for dimensions , 01 the UCS for "YZ" plan , 01 the UCS for "XZ" plan so that I can easily have them back.
Lauch the command UCS and take a look at the different options, note that some options are not all here but under the first options like UCS --> 3 ( UCS by 3 points ) UCS --> O ( object ) , etc...
Use F1 to look at the help inside AutoCAD.
Try and find an old AutoCAD release like 2010 with the PDF book : AutoCAD_2010_acad_acr.pdf ( command reference = user manual ) because it's outside AutoCAD ( F1 help is inside AutoCAD and you can't switch from AutoCAD to F1 help.
Tell us more about your works, interrests, etc...
Have a nice day.

You can do it either manually with the UCS command ot via the Dynamic UCS feature.

I need to dimension on the z-axis in my 3D drawings, but I don't know how to set my UCS to allow me for this.]]> Tue, 24 Jun 2014 16:31:21 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=10408&PID=27481&title=how-to-use-ucs-settings#27481
