Anyone know how to get the arrow for this dim to contact the radius while still being on the side I have shown? I have played with the arrow orientation grip/toggle to no avail. Come across this now and then but just keep. We have preferences here to no use the "witness arc" if possible.

Thanks

While the dimension is selected, expand the "Witness/Leader Display" dropdown in the properties sheet and select the centre icon (Inside) to get the arrow head on the desired side.

Thanks Trevor,

That one I actually had already selected and didnt seem to work, I might not have explained properly. But then I figured I'd actually read (a new concept for me apparently) the rest of the options in that tabbed menu and the cryptically written one "Dimension to inside of arc" allowed me to dimension to the inside of the arc.

Thanks again
