Arrow not oblique

[Slawomir_]

Hi,

can't figure out how to edit aligned dimension including oblique arrow. DIMALI sets arrow to correct angle (perpendicular to extension line), next after Oblique DIMEDIT it is not rotated so it is no longer obliqued similarly to extension line. Why? How can I repair it?

To clarify what I'm looking for see picture below. Arrow is at similar angle as extension line. This is made using "user arrow". Can it be done other way? Easier and more versatile...

No, I don't think it can, in 2D drafting.  I think this has come up before [I'll let you Search], with the same user-arrow conclusion.

You could, however, if viable with other considerations, draw and dimension things orthogonally in 2D but view them isometrically in 3D.  It would give the text part an obliqued look, too [another element of this question as it's come up before, that can be handled in 2D with an obliqued Text Style used in the Dimension Style], which you may like.  And it would eliminate the need to have separate Dimension Styles for the different obliquing directions.

I've done research before posting and there are topics covering "user arrow" for iso dimensioning. I was hoping that this was recently resolved in new AutoCAD release
or by some app
or there exists command, function etc to do so but I'm not aware of it.

This sounds like good alternative. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll give it a try.

I understand now, what do you mean by "viable". Everything works good as far as lines are perpendicular. When angle between lines is different than 90 like 45, 135 it wont work. I have tried it on simple isometric drawing - see below. Three dimension were edited using DIMEDIT Oblique to suit iso view.

For now I prefer to use "user arrow". I find it best alternative for isometric dimension for my purposes.
