how do i change the direction of annotation arrows?

how do i change the direction of annotation arrows?

how do i change the direction of annotation arrows?

(OP)
Hi,

When I draw an axis and i put geometric tolerance on it (annotation) with on left and right side a bent leader with arrows, the arrows point at vertical faces of the axe from the inside... I want the bent leaders and arrows to approach the workpiece from outside.

Anyone with the same problem or a solution...?
Greetings

RE: how do i change the direction of annotation arrows?

If it's an annotation arrow you can move it by picking the arrowhead nad moving it to a new location. then drag the text after that.

If you need more then one hold arrow head then hold the ctrl-key down and drag that arrowhead to a second location.

RE: how do i change the direction of annotation arrows?

(OP)
Let me try to explain my problem better:
I have a geometric tolerance box with an arrow on the right and one on the left side. I want them to point at two vertical faces of an axe. The arrows point from the inside of the axe. I want them to point coming from the outside...
I can't seem to turn the arrows 180°?

RE: how do i change the direction of annotation arrows?

Are you talking about the leader line with the arrowhead on it?

If so, then you have to move the Geo box. The arrowhead follows the side of the leader and there are no adjustments on that leader other then what is avaiable in the Dim properties.

If you have an example part you can send that to me and I will be able to get a better understanding. See my website.
