    Hi Patrick,

     

    V6 will have a built-in dimension tool, but in the meantime use the

    adimv4_0in.ulp and adimv4_0mm.ulp. These ulps can be found on our

    website www.cadsoftusa.com-> Downloads-> User Language Programs.

     

    The automatically dimension the board, and for the most part are very

    useable.

    Hi Patrick,

     

    First what is the purpose of the measurement/dimensions you want to put on the PCB? Boardhouses don't care about what text is on the silkscreen so drill dimensions are of no use when placed there.

    Secondly text and so on can be placed on layer 25(tNames) or 26(bNames).to be printed on the Silkscreen.
