I hope Inventor team will change the clip zone behavior so it respects the terminator symbol selected.

Arrow is crossing the extension line so extension line is hidden in that part. This is correct.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="hoptrop48756_0-1759173131194.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1574746i847262391AD02BD2/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="hoptrop48756_0-1759173131194.png" alt="hoptrop48756_0-1759173131194.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>2) If I use dot, for example in chained dimensions, the dot is smaller and doesnt cross the extension line.

I believe this is related to dimension line or general annotation clipping behavior. The clipping was supposed to avoid any overlap and confusion. It seems to have hard-coded clip zone, which cannot be controlled by the users.</P> <P>Many thanks!</P> Mon, 29 Sep 2025 21:50:50 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/bug-drawing-dimension-terminator-hides-extension-line-even-if-it/m-p/13830325#M401285 johnsonshiue 2025-09-29T21:50:50Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/bug-drawing-dimension-terminator-hides-extension-line-even-if-it/m-p/13831343#M401321 <P>Hi, I agree.

It infers that the programmers are short-sighted here and you know better than them. Maybe you're wrong here; maybe not. It's better to just present the issue than place a label on it.</P> Tue, 30 Sep 2025 16:40:02 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/bug-drawing-dimension-terminator-hides-extension-line-even-if-it/m-p/13831451#M401327 mluterman 2025-09-30T16:40:02Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/bug-drawing-dimension-terminator-hides-extension-line-even-if-it/m-p/13831543#M401334 <P>Ok, sorry about that.</P> Tue, 30 Sep 2025 18:05:46 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/bug-drawing-dimension-terminator-hides-extension-line-even-if-it/m-p/13831543#M401334 hoptrop48756 2025-09-30T18:05:46Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/bug-drawing-dimension-terminator-hides-extension-line-even-if-it/m-p/13831767#M401346 <P>Hi!
