•You can display reference level names via Autotext (these are text strings)

Add superscript to dimension text
Click Insert Superscript Symbol, then add your superscript text. (The symbol is shown in the dialog as a caret.)
To continue the text in regular font, click Insert Superscript again.
Note: If your dimension already includes a superscript - because you are using Extra Accuracy defined in Options > Project Preferences > Dimensions - then add a space before inserting the superscript symbol. Otherwise, the caret itself will appear in the dimension text.
Set dimension unit at Dimensions Preferences (Options > Project Preferences > Dimensions).
