How to Flip a Dimensioning Upward

You might get different results when you add a dimensioning to the shape points A and B:

The results differ by which one is shifted and if it is shifted upwards or downwards.
Therefore it is sometimes helpful to flip a dimensioning in order to get the desired result.

The Flip Dimensioning function exchanges the vertical position of the shape points.

The Flip Dimensioning Downward function keeps the position of the lower shape point and shifts the upper point downward.

The Flip Dimensioning Upward function keeps the position of the upper shape point and shifts the lower point upward.

A shape point will keep its position when dimensioning it vertically if it was already uniquely vertically positioned.
