Dimensions--extensions & location of arrows

Sep 05, 2004 1 Replies

Often, when dimensions come across from the model, the arrows are outside the extension lines, like this:

But there seems to be plenty of room for them inside the extension lines. I can manually move them in by clicking on the arrows, and I get this:

...which I prefer. Does anybody know what controls whether or not the arrows are automatically placed inside the extension lines or outside? Is there a setting that I can play with to adjust this? Thanks in advance for the help...

Options - Document Properties - Dimensions

In the Arrows section, change the setting there to Inside instead of the default Smart.

Save this in your default Template files and they will be set everytime. Otherwise, you have to set it on every drawing, since it is saved with the drawing, or the Template.
