dimensions were created and saved on same line. when the layer was reopened the dimensions had migrated up....? see attached figure below
how do I return the tolerances to the same line??
what might the operator have done to cause this?? or is there something going on with Shark Pro 1328 ??

Hello Art

Are the +/- tolerance added as text to the dimension string or are they added as native tolerance in the program?

I tried pasting the ± symbol from character map into dimensions and open and closed the drawing and they seem ok in my file.
