leader arrowhead tpoint to center of circle
leader arrowhead tpoint to center of circle
(OP)
This is the first time I've ever had someone so arrogant as to cririze me for not having leader and dim arrowheads to point directly to the center of the circle from the outside. With that being siad, is there a way to get arrowheads to: 1)snap or attach to a circle and 2)point directly to the center of the circle. I've included a picture of what this "person" believes is wrong. Thanks for any direction given!

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?

Was your original note associative? If so, copy its text (attribute/expression references) into your new dim text before deleting the hole callout note.

...and select your 'Hole' features that they will automatically be created with the arrow pointing toward the center of the hole:

Your attitude towards your checker seems uncalled for. It is unfortunate that you have not experienced such "arrogance" before. If you question a markup, be sure to have documentation to back yourself up. You may learn a thing or two that way.

And no, NX may not be the most user friendly, but it is a very powerful tool once you get the hang of it (best that I've used).
As for not communicating with the checker, I recommend again that you document why you may disagree before you question any corrections. I have found that to be a great way to learn just what is and what is not acceptable per standards used. "Personal preference" and "because that's the way we've always done it", without any documentation, always raise red flags for me but you need to choose which battles are worth fighting.
Also, I have learned about myself not to incorporate red-lines before lunch if I can avoid it... I seem to be much more aggressive about relatively minor issues first thing in the morning.

Me too, no more drawing submissions before lunch!

User friendliness in NX, at least, usually boils down to taking the time to peruse available documentation and time spent learning how to do things the way the software intends, not necessarily how you learned in another software. You won't become proficient with NX by doing it on your own or not having a good understanding of the terminology that's used over and over within the software.
Don't get me wrong, I get where you're coming from - if I were forced to move from my bread & butter, I wouldn't be too pleased. Something to note is that once you click a command in NX, you can immediately go up to HELP -> On Context (or press F1) and that will usually take you to a useful area in the docs. If not, you may have to spend a few minutes looking around for what you want. If you get stumped, post here and move onto another area of your drawing until you get some direction from the guys here.
