Hi guys

My request for a new feature is as follows:please introduce a entity format "decimal *without leading "0."
(There is no way to mix up 48cm and 48m between architectural ticks. But omitting "0." saves much space when and where you need it; if you have a 16cm thick wall in scale 1:100, "16" will fit between -/--/-, "0.16" won't (and thus will possibly overlap with an adjacent number).)

The problem:
While adding dimensions to an architectural drawing, I ran into problems with the size and/or location of the numbers. In very common situations where you need to dimension small, adjacent spaces, either you have to select the size of (all) the numbers very (=too) small or *some* adjacent numbers overlap.
Both not desiderable/acceptable in a professional environment (all other shortcomings were manageable).

So, apart from my feature reqest, my questions are:
- Is there a way to move the dimension numbers *without* moving the dimension line?
- 0r is there a way to delete the leading "0." manually?

BTW: more generally: Is the a way to edit text with is already placed somewhere (I currently I delete and recreate such texts)?
