Can you use the Illustrator dimension tool for tech pack measurements?

Creating a tech pack consists of a lot of things, but one thing that is crucial to add to a tech pack are measurements. And the Illustrator dimension tool can be a great timesaver when adding artwork dimensions to a fashion tech pack.

Hi, just ran into your video and i thought i would comment. I work on tech packs and found that if you select the dimension callout you can then Object> Expand Appearance which then makes the text editable. It's a workaround, but thought it could be helpful.

Oh, wow! Thank you for sharing that! That is REALLY helpful!

I have the same issues about not being able to change the measurements, that would be a game changer for fashion tech packs. I gave my feedback to Adobe a while ago. Here's hoping we get our updates soon.

Thanks for watching and commenting, Robin! I need to send feedback to Adobe as well. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾.

I think this tool would be useful because I can add measurements (corrections) to my patterns. I am familiarizing myself with the tool so once the update comes I can use what I know and apply it. Thank you for the information!
