Hi,

 

 

There is Fit options that you can use when there isn't enough room to place (see below image).from DDIM command you can try one of them especially suppress arraows option.

Note : don't forget to select and set current the dimension style that you work on.

 

Good Luck...

Hi, 

 

I think the only way you can fit the arrow inside is by reducing the arrow size.

Otherwise as mentioned by Mr. Imad you can suppress the arrows.

Or you can bring the text outside by placing the cursor on the grip and resetting the text position.

You have a very good suggestion by @imadHabash in working with the fit options in the Dimension Style Manager.

 

I would also suggest that you could decide if your text and/or arrow sizes are able to be decreased to permit better fit?  If you must have the text and arrows inside the extension lines you will likely have to choose a smaller size for one or bot of these.  Your screenshot clearly shows that you have the text above the dimension line (vs. center in the dim line) so I belive size is the last option for you.

 

Cheers!
