Slanting Dimension Extension Lines
To slant dimension extension lines:
1. Click Modify and then, in the Annotate group, click Slant. See the following figure:
Figure 129. Slanted Extension Lines
2. Type the slant angle in the user input line and press ENTER.
3. Select the dimension to slant.
Alternatively, you can preselect the dimension.
The dimension extension lines are slanted by the specified angle.
* 
In the preselection mode, Creo Elements/Direct slants the dimension extension lines after you specify the slant angle.
If preselection is active for the dimension, you can select another dimension to slant.
If you specify a different option in the user input line after clicking Slant (for example, STAGGERED, BREAK, RESET, CHG_STAGGER), the preselected dimension is modified accordingly.
* 
Slant angles must be between 0 and 60 degrees, or 0 and -60 degrees. You can only slant the extension lines of single dimensions with a parallel dimension orientation. Broken or staggered dimensions can be slanted and slanted dimensions can be broken or staggered. A slanted dimension cannot be further slanted.
