With the option Settings you can open the Dialog box Dimension options. Here you can adapt the dimension settings for the various object types.
You can cancel the last dimension with the Undo button. If you had dimensioned several objects one after the other, you can gradually undo them.

Notes 
Dimensioning SchüCad next objects is associative. This means that the dimension is automatically adapted when you change the object.
The current dimension settings (e.g. dimension figure height) are used for dimensioning.
