How can I have an origin symbol (circle) on one end of a dimension leader and an arrow on the other end? I thought I could do this in earlier versions of SW (I'm running 2015). The only way I found to do it now is change the overall drafting standard from ANSI to JIS, change the dim arrow option, then change back fro JIS to ANSI. If you have an alternative method I'd appreciate knowing what it is.

Running SW2013. This option still exists. Place your dimension and zoom in to the arrow in question. Hover over the selection point that switches the arrows from outside the extension lines to inside, or vice-versa, right click, and the menu below pops up.
