Flip Dimension arrows in a drawing.

I would like to be able to flip Dimension arrow so they will point to an O.D. of a cylinder. There should be an easy way to flip an arrow.

Thanks for the request. I've logged it as an improvement request. (ref: FDWG-14828)

Does Flip Arrows work for you?

Hi Phil, it does work. I did look there initially (right click) but couldn't see the wood for the trees!

I then used it and for the life of me cannot see why/how/when you would ever only want the one arrow flipped? I now have to click and click to flip 2 arrows? Seriously? Why can't we just double click the arrows and they flip? Both of them...... at the same time.......? What if I miss one?

Is it me? 🤦‍

The flip is there. But I don't use it because of the line that remains between the points. There shouldn't be a line between the arrows if they are pointing at each other.

I'm finding a lot extremely irritating on the drawing side of fusion. The design-side is also frustrating at times and takes so much time to achieve simple tasks that could be done in minutes in solidworks. I'll live with the design issues at the moment though and hope they get fixed at some point, I have no choice, but the drawings....... it might be easier and more professional looking sometimes to create them with crayons!
