AutoCAD/Overriding dim & style

Question
In AutoCAD 2007 I need to override a toleranced diameter that shows min and max (I don't know the name of the style). When I override the dimension text I get the single line of text. How can I restore the min/max style with the overriding text?
Thanks.


Answer
OK, I am guessing that you got the drawing from someone else and you dont have the style. However, the dim style should be saved in the drawing, so???????
Remember, I am an Interior Designer, and your subject is mechanical -- I have never used a toleranced diameter.
If it is one or two to fix, and others are not working on the drawing later, I would explode the dim and edit it.
If you need to use the style, ask the person who created the drawing how to do it.  Maybe they did it with lisp.
