Modifying a dimension line

[cve60069]

Hello

I wish to reduce the space between the arrow and text on external dimensions (see attached). Would someone point me to correct command, please?

Thanks

I believe it's DIMGAP

Can be manually done using explode.

 

[chicopee]

forgot, you can also use your ticks.

Create a new dimension style. DDIM

 

[chicopee]

Yes, Occupant is correct.Dimgap will work

Thanks for the advice. DIMGAP did not work. Exploding did but it seems to be a bit of a fudge.

Thanks again.

did you try aligning the text with the end of the line instead of having it align on top of the extension line? Maybe it can then move closer to the arrowhead.

Change to "move text, add leader" and see if it lets you close the gap. ???

Dear All

I have tried moving the text using grips and the gap is always the same (image). With multileader, I am able to change the landing gap and space. I suspect the control is within the Style Manager Modify but I am unable to find it.

Thanks for the advice.

dimgap is the answer. Do the dimension. Type dimgap. Type a new value. Type Update and pick the dimension.

DIMGAP has reduced the gap between the leader and text (attached). Is there a similar command that will shorten the leader, please?
