How to set Ordinate Dimension to be above Line

[Futura]

Need help trying to set the value of a Ordinate dimension to sit above the line. Does anyone know how to do this? Im using Inventor 2011. Thankyou.

Attached is a pic of how the dimension sits along side the dimension line.

 

I want to be able to place this ordinate dimension above the dimension line.

 

anyone?

I've tried to do the same. Using Inventor 2010. I've been through all the options, but it doesn't look as though it allows for such an option with ordinate dimensions. Is this a problem? Come to think of it, I think with ordinate dimensions, having the dimension text centred on the line is clearer than sitting above. I reckon anyways ...

 

Sorry can't be much help.

Thanks for your reply David, I too have been through all the options, I can get the prefix to sit above the dimension line, but not the actual dimension value. Looks like this has to be an option in future inventor model releases.

JD Mather, can you share any light on this? Can this be acheived?
