Thank you for answer!

But that is not exactly what I need.
I am going to explain it again by help of picture which I hope realy helps.

I have some part of construction design of panel of house and I need to put there some dimensions for people who will produce it. /look at pdf in attachment/

You can see that there is not enought place to put dimensions which are not in one line. /like in scene 2 of attachment/

So I find workaround /for design view/ which look like /scene 1 of attachment/ but it looks litle bit strange with that 3D outline text and advanatge of dimension is out.

Last evening I found better way of design /scene 3 in attachment/
This can be easy put there and look better but without dimension advantages too.

If someone can help me with right chain dimension it really help me.
Or is it possible rotate that text? I did not found any way to rotate it.

Thanks

I mean some dimension from one point to other points which are in line /or chain/

For example if you need to make some holes in line to wood square in good accuracy - you can measure dimension from one hole to other and so on, but chance of mistake is bigger because of probability of error by measurment.
Better way is measure dimension from start of wood square to 1. hole, from same point of start of wood square to 2. hole and so on /from one point to all others/ and accuracy is right.

I am sorry if my english vocambulary was not enought for this technical definition of chain dimension

Thanks for answer

Is it possible draw in sketchup something like chain dimension.
I really need find some some solution on this issue.
I use some lines and 3D text right now but it looks very strange.

Can anybody help me?

Thank you very much
