Is there any way to set the dimension text as center-justified by default? I tried many ways to set it but after the fact seems to be the only way.
I think that this is really a Styles question, because it is driven by the "Default Object Properties" that can be found in the Object Styles docker.
After you have done that, you have changed that property of the Default Object Properties for the current document.
If you want that to apply to future documents, then right-click on Default Object Properties->Dimension, then select "Set as New Document Default".
Eskimo, thanks for your reply. It appears you misunderstood my post. I am referring to the justification of the text. I need that centered and not X (none) as default. see image below.
