Is there an option to center dimension text by default?

I have had a look around and a search but didn't seem to find anything.
If it doesn't exist, can we get the option of it in the settings.

    @hayden_morgan007 - Dimension text by default will snap to center on creation.
    If at any time after creation you have moved the dim and want to re center it, RMB over the dim and select 'edit' - there is a button that will re-center it.



    I hope this helps :)

    @philip_thomas Mine don't seem to snap to the middle, maybe I'm missing something.
    I know the button is there but have to do it  for every dimension.

    @philip_thomas Thanks, makes sense, rather than it being forced to center.
