Angular dimension - hidden dimension line

[steve_lindley]

In our active style, we choose to turn off visibility of dimension lines when the arrow heads are outside.

This works fine on linear dimensions, but doesn't seem to work on angular dimensions.

Can anyone shed any light on how to do this please?

Can you show us a screen shot of what you want to do?  How are you turning off the visibility of the dimension lines?

Please see images attached. I'm sure we can't be the only users who find that sometimes - not all the time - the space available dictates that the value and arrow heads should be outside the extension lines - as shown.

In this instance, Autodesk give us the option in the style editor to turn off the line between arrows. However, this doesn't seem to work for angular dimensions.

Try this, place the angular dimension then right click and select Options.  Uncheck "Use Quadrant", then again and uncheck "Arrowheads Inside".  You should now be able to drag the text outside of the extension lines without a line forming inside.  I don't see any setting to have it work like this all the time, sadly.
