Dim question

[john.p.addy]

Ok I have a question,  I haven't been able to figure it out.  If you check out the word doc I uploaded with in the revcloud that is in cyan.  Is there a way to get ride of the line that is in between the arrows when they are on the outside of the ext. line.  The other one I had to explode it get it done.  I don't really want to have to do that to everyone that needs done.

So you want to hide the dimension line?

You can edit your dimstyle and on the Fit tab uncheck the box "Draw dimension line between ext lines".  Or you can change just one dim by selecting it and on the properties palette under fit change "dim line forced" to off

It's the DIMTOFL System Variable [= DIMension Text Outside, Force Line (inside)].  Set it to Off.

For already-drawn Dimensions, you can use DIMOVERRIDE, specify that Variable and Off for it, and pick Dimensions to apply that override to.
