Hi..
In ADT 2012, i'm doing a sewage project for a house.
Usually when i'm dimensioning these things, i dimension the outlet (Ă32, Ă40, Ă110 etc.)
But, in this particular drawing, i'm not able to rotate the dimension around the circle! It is set at two opposing angles, and i can not move i around freely as usual!
Any idea why, and if so, what setting controls this behaviour?
Please ignore the spelling....English isn't my native language :-)

When you first place a Diameter or Radius dimension, the tip of the arrowhead will be placed on the arc where you clicked with the pick point. So you can get close to where you want to be that way. But if it's not where you want it, select the dimension and drag the grip at the tip of the arrowhead along the curve until you have it where you want. You can also move it around by grabbing and dragging the grip at the text.
