More Help with Dimension Settings in Standards

(OP)
Does anyone know which Standard dimension setting(s) will change the length of the overruns/dimension line that's circled in the attached image (below)?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for breaking into multiple posts, but posting as I run across things I can't figure out.....

How to control the distance of a diameter or radius symbol from the dimension value?

TIA!

RE: More Help with Dimension Settings in Standards

I am not sure how to create a setting for this requirement but a very crude way to do this for a few dimensions would be to use 'Fake Dimension' and assigning the required number of spaces before the actual real value.

I did have a go at setting the dimensions 'prefix' as 'R   ' (or similar with diameter symbol) but Catia seems to ignore the spaces in this case.

Do let us know if you find a way to 'set' this although I fail to see when I might feel the need to use it..!
