By default, the label direction /text direction of dimension tool is horizontal.
Thanks!
How do I change the direction, so it is vertical (or more general, any other angle desired), like this:How Do I change the Label Direction / Text Direction of Dimension Tools

Re: How Do I change the Label Direction / Text Direction of Dimension Tools
There is no easy way to change the text direction of a dimension.
The only way I know is to explode (xp) the dimension and then manipulate the text separately.
But attention: you loose the relation between dimension and text. That means changing the dimension will not change the text anymore.

Thanks, Tohmas. Your suggestion is a feasible workaround. Hope this can be included in furture updates.

Your best chance to get something like that in a future QCAD Version would be to file a "Feature Request". The developer will then decide to implement it or not.

Don't be confused by the link - that forum is used for bug reports and feature requests.
