Dimension inside radius in draft

Dimension inside radius in draft

Dimension inside radius in draft

(OP)
Hey all. Does anyone know what setting would be in SE that controls where the leader of a smart dimension attaches itself? I have an inside radius on a part that the leader will not touch, it will only add a projected radius and dimension from that. If I dimension from the back side of the inside radius, it will touch it. I have other drawings where this works fine, but I cant seem to find the setting anywhere that controls this.

RE: Dimension inside radius in draft

(OP)
I figured this out. This was on a broken out section view.  The depth of the section was not deep enough such that it created a view where the radii where not planar to the view, thus creating an elipse or other odd geometry which the smart dimension could not interpret correctly.  Setting the depth correctly, the leader now touches the radius geometry and provides an accurate value.  Thanks all.
