Diameter arrow settings in PMI

Diameter arrow settings in PMI

Diameter arrow settings in PMI

(OP)
NX 9, I would like to know where I can set the arrow behavior from two arrows that are on the outside to the outside of a PMI diameter dim, to one arrow
on the outside of a diameter feature. I can change it one at a time by right clicking and edit but where is it located so that when I create the PMI dim
it does not need changed. I can change all perimeters in drafting preferences to just fine but there does not seem to be a toggle to switch from one or two arrows.
I looked in customer defaults as well. Maybe I am just missing something.

Thanks,Buddy.

RE: Diameter arrow settings in PMI

I could not get rid of the second arrow head on the diameter dim,. Try using the hole dimension instead.

RE: Diameter arrow settings in PMI

Is it possible that you could use the hole dimension instead of the diameter dimension ?

RE: Diameter arrow settings in PMI

I would recommend that you use the Radial Dimension function with the 'Method' set to 'Hole Callout' and if you don't want something like the 'Thru' notation included, select the 'Settings -> Holes Callout' option and toggle OFF the 'Depth' item.

RE: Diameter arrow settings in PMI

JohnRBaker: I think he just wants one arrow on the PMI dia dim? That would be the hole dimension function.
