Setting style preference for diameter dimensions
Setting style preference for diameter dimensions
(OP)
I find that I am constantly changing the dimension style for while applying diameter dimensions in my drawings. I prefer a single arrow attached to the edge of the feature (hole) identical to the radial dimension style with the exception, of course, the diameter symbol in place of the "R".
If I do all my diameter dims one after another the style is remembered but if I don't or I move on to the next drawing I have to again go to the style dialoge and make about 4 changes to get back to what I prefer.
I have found no preference settings that allow me to set a different default for diameter dimensions. What options do I have?
Thanks,

1.Select the "Dimensions" tab
2.Set "Manual Placement-Arrows Out"
3.Unselect "Display Arrow on Side 2"
4.Unselect "Display Extension Line on Side 2"
5.On occassion I also have to set "No Line Between Arrows"
6. Hit "OK" and place my dimension.
I have gotten use to doing this almost every time I place a diameter dimension but I don't want to be doing this 1 year from now. So if there is a solution to this, now's the time to implement it.
