Recently, our CAD administrator modified our "new file" template. One of the things he changed was our dimension defaults. A new problem has appeared:

I can dimension an "inside" radius (i.e. fillet) as I always have, but if I move the location of the dimension, the arrow snaps to the outside (or where the outside would be if the arc were 360°). See attached file.

I compared the old template to the new template and can't see what change would affect this.

Is there a system variable that I can tweak?
 
VitaminM,

which ACD-version?
Can you attach a dwg with one dimension?

Me too.

The dimension has a style override in the DIMDEC & DIMTMOVE variables. You can modify these in the properties box under "fit" "text movement".

Or if you just re-dimension it, it will not have the overrides & can be moved (on my machine anyway).
