Control over ASME dimensioning style for radius and diameter.

I would like to know if there is a way to change the dimension style in the ASME standard. The image below shows 2 different styles for dimensions. the R10 dimension is the one that Fusion 360 will automatically do but the R40 and R46 dimensions are impossible as far as I can tell.

As for diameters I can not dimension a diameter like the image below and I would like to.

The ISO standards have similar styles of dimensioning but I need to use the ASME standard for the position of the numerical values

There is no method of altering the ASME standards built into Fusion 360 you can achieve your desired results.

 

You can do the dimensions of the shaft with a little extra work.  You reverse the diameter arrow and then add a sketch leader for the cross arrow.  The arrow reversal ability was added in the latest version release.

You can also do the radii you asked for in the top picture by using a Jogged Radius and selecting the radius center for the remote center point.  This action will allow you to more or less skip the jog graphic indicator and place the dimension where it should appear instead.  By selecting the radius center, it is just an eyeball pick, it will not snap but you can get the result easy enough.

Thanks this works. It would be nice if this was a built in feature though
