Hello, I have recently switched to nanoCAD and encountered a problem with dimensions.

I use different UCS and change them often to rotate the view. Whenever I try to add dimensions it seems that they are always aligned to world coordinate system instead of UCS and as a result I end up with dimension text rotated in the wrong direction.

Is there a way to fix this, to get it to work like in other cad programs?

Hi, I have been having the same problem. I found a temporary fix for one file: In paper space, I entered the model space viewport and dimensioned the element. I then exited paper space, returned to the model, and the dimensioning worked.
