Leader lines in Drafting

[DLH81]

Sorry if this question has been asked before. I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find an answer.

My problem is that when I put in a dimension in drafting (I'm running NX8), it infers which side the leader is on. If I want to change it to make my dimensions fit better, I right click the dimension, choose style, and then under the line/arrow tab I change the side the leader comes from. However, it usually then places the dimension in a different area, so when I go to move it to when I want it, it automatically changes the leader back to the original side. I can't get it where I want it with the leader on the side I want. Any tips?

Hopefully the description of my issue makes sense. Let me know if any clarification is needed. Thanks!

It would be nice if the software would remember that you specifically changed the orientation for a reason and would keep it that way until you changed it again, but at least there is a work around. Still a bit annoying.
