dimension flip arrow

hi,

i would like to have dimension arrows on the outside of the dim. line. When I hover over the end grip of the dim line and use flip arrow, it only flips one of them no matter what grip end of the dim line I do that. I don't want to increase the size of the arrows which would probably be a solution.

This topic is better suited for the Autocad forum but DIMSTYLE command is where it can be changed for all new Dimensions.
Dimension style > Mofify > Fit> force arrows inside or outside.

Thanks,

but I rarely use dimensions, so there's no need for me to create styles, because the dimesion I draw once a month always needs to look different so I use default style and then change the particular dimension in properties box. I was wondering why this neat feature (flip arrow command) doesn't work if there's any glitch or so ... Anyway I may be blind but even when I looked in the Fit tab of the Dimstyles I didn't see that option.

You can do this by using the "AIDIMFLIPARROW" command.

I have a question about this topic. I flipped my arrows to the inside of a circle when dimension the diameter. when i flip the arrows, lines extend beyond the circle which i do not like. i have to explode them and trim but then the dimension is no longer considered a dimension. this is autocad 2021 for mac

10 years now and still one of the best AutoCAD tips I've ever seen (AIDIMFLIPARROW).

Is there a way to do this by default in the jungle that is the DIMSTYLE menus/windows?  I've been searching and it doesn't seem like it.
