Is there any way to make the arc length dimension in NX look like the arc length dimension in I-Deas? I've included a screen shot comparing the two. I know that, if the dimension is interior to the arc it will look like I-Deas but I want it to be exterior to the arc, as shown in the picture.

Your picture is pretty dark but I think I see what you're getting at.
Well, we've been down this road several times before and what you have there is a NON-standard dimension. NX only creates STANDARD Arc Length dimensions. Here's the link to the last time this was discussed:

Your quite correct, I was wanting to make a non-standard dimension if there was a way to override the settings. I didn't think that it could be changed but maybe thought I'd ask in case someone had found a way to do it.
Thanks John
If you can answer, are you going to any RUGs this year?

I'm already committed to nine of them with a few more yet to be finalized. Where are you located?

Yes, that's one that's already scheduled for Tuesday October 28th, and yes, it's one that I've been asked to present at.
See you there (make sure you identify yourself so that we can put a face with the moniker).
