How to get a Dual line type in Inventor - Extension line and Dimension line

I am testing out Inventor for a project. It is going well, but I am stuck with a Dimension line Issue.
Namely that it does not separate the dimension line and extension line. They seem to be linked together. Or  at least I could not find it. 

Below is an image of how I want to the Dimension line and extension line to look like

Example of correct line types.jpg
In AutoCAD I could modify it: see image below.

Please let me know if this can be done, or if I need a work around to achieve this. 

Thank you in advance!

I believe that it's only possible to apply the same line type for dimension and extension lines.

No, I don't think you can make Inventor do that.  Inventor drawings are meant to adhere to certain standards (ISO, DIN, ASME, etc), which yours definitely don't.  Inventor's adherence to standards is not perfect by any means, and it does allow some deviation, but not in this case.

 

Maybe someone can come up with a workaround, though.
