I'm stumped. How do I change a dimension into a reference dimension? I.E (2.33)

Existing dimension:
Select the dimension,
check the Property Editor for "Label"
type in (<>)

FYI:
() are ordinary character
<> will display the measured value
for a plain text information like (Hight 100) just don't use <> :wink:
