Is it possible to jog an extension line of a linear dimension in the draft?

Hello, I do not believe so, but can you show us a picture of what you're trying to do?  Maybe there is another solution.  What version of Inventor?

Hi, your image did not attach to the forum response.  If you were attempting to attach this from a mobile device, that does not work.  You could use the Windows Snipping tool (or a MAC equivalent) and then just copy/paste the screen shot into a reply.  Thanks!

Hi! I don't believe it is doable with Chain dimensions. You can tilt the dimension lines. But Ordinate dimensions do support jog.

Many thanks!

I am amazed at how some of these little things cannot be done in Inventor.

Hi Nathan,

 

In terms of 2D drafting workflows, Inventor is not as flexible as AutoCAD. If you like using AutoCAD's 2D drafting workflows, you may use AutoCAD VIEWBASE command to create associative drawing views to Inventor components and use the drafting tools in AutoCAD. When the Inventor components change, AutoCAD will update the drawing views accordingly.

Many thanks!
