&lt;P&gt;Absolutely.&amp;nbsp; And if you use a routine like &lt;STRONG&gt;DimExtLineToggle.lsp&lt;/STRONG&gt; with its &lt;STRONG&gt;DET&lt;/STRONG&gt; command, &lt;A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/selecting-multiple-extension-line-functionality-help/m-p/9552874/highlight/true#M400488" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;&lt;/A&gt;, you can turn off [or back on] either extension line &lt;EM&gt;without&lt;/EM&gt; needing to know which is 1 and which is 2.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Forum,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am a student taking an introductory course in AutoCAD 2025.&amp;nbsp; In class we are learning how to dimension drawings properly.&amp;nbsp; My professor has instructed us to give center lines priority over dimension extension lines.&amp;nbsp; The method he has shown us is to explode any dimension that has an extension line touching a center mark, delete the extension line, and then extended the center mark line.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This used to work perfectly, but now my exploded dimensions are showing empty (not-filled) arrowheads and I don't know how to fix this issue.&amp;nbsp; Any help you can provide is appreciated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Aaron&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Screenshot 2024-07-22 125059.png" style="width: 958px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1389629iC44748B6194DC183/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot 2024-07-22 125059.png" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-22 125059.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The reason&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1646285"&gt;@Valentin-WSP&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;suggested what they did is that fill does not show in Solids [or Polylines with non-zero width] when they are not viewed from straight overhead.&amp;nbsp; [I confess that am puzzled by the fact that the fill shows in the arrowheads of the Dimensions that have &lt;EM&gt;not&lt;/EM&gt; been Exploded.]&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The &lt;STRONG&gt;VIEWDIR&lt;/STRONG&gt; System Variable holds the "camera" location for your view direction relative to the origin in the current Coordinate System.&amp;nbsp; Your drawing is in the World Coordinate System [indicated by the little square at the origin of the UCS icon], but the view direction is not straight down -- it has the X,Y,Z values:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="courier new,courier"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;VIEWDIR = 0.0000,-0.8242,47.2172&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;but for &lt;EM&gt;straight-overhead&lt;/EM&gt; view it should be:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="courier new,courier"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;VIEWDIR = 0.0000,0.0000,1.0000&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;and will be after the suggested PLAN command in the World Coordinate System.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
