Hi,
I am new to autocad so just finding my way around at the moment.I would like to know how to change the dimension arrows from the inside of a column to the outside ie one either side of the column pointing towards each other when using linear dimensioning.
 
Also where do I find an arrow which I can use just to point at a component and then ad text about it?
 
Any Advice much appreciated

All of your Dimension settings can be found in the Dimension Style Manager

Command: [CMD]DIMSTYLE[/CMD]

The settings you're looking for will be on the Fit tab.

To answer your 2nd question, you can use the [CMD]LEADER[/CMD] command or look in the Multileaders area of your Annotate ribbon.

Good Luck!!
