Hole dimension leader

Hole dimension leader

Hole dimension leader

(OP)
Is there any way in wildfire 2.0 to dimension a hole (diameter not radius) and have one leader with one arrow?  It currently displays two arrows 180° apart either pointing at the interior or exterior of the hole.

Thanks in advance

RE: Hole dimension leader

(OP)
When I FLIP ARROWS all it does is change the direction the arrows are pointing.  The dimension leader still has two arrows; one on each side of the hole; Inside pointing out or outside pointing in.  I basically want a leader (one arrow like the radial dimension shows, but I want a diameter dimension), but I want the dimension on the drawing to update when the hole in the model changes.

Thanks for the quick response

RE: Hole dimension leader

(OP)
I found what my problem was...  In Drawing Options, set Text_Orientations to:  parallel_diam_horiz; mine was set to parallel.  After I done this, the flip arrow choices gave me my desired leader.


Thanks!

RE: Hole dimension leader

I had a look at that config setting, and yes, those are usually set for ISO spec drawings (parallel settings...). I should have read your question a bit more.

Glad it worked out.
