Is there an easy way to get the dimension line arrows on the outside of the extension lines. I'm using AutoCAD 2008. Any suggestions are welcome and much appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks.

Can you be more specific. I've been working with DIMSTYLE and the Properties box but have not been able to simply put the arrows on the outside of the extension lines and have only the dimension between the extension lines.

Thanks again for any suggestions.

Use the AIDIMFLIPARROW command - available also in the Dim context menu.

Thanks for the response.

This works but it leaves still leaves the dimension lines between the extension lines. I'd like to have just the dimension centered between the extension lines with the arrows on the outside of the extension lines.
