SW automatically places a double arrow on foreshortened dimensions. SW also offers a list of arrowhead style options if one right-clicks on an existing dimension arrow. But the double-arrow is not among those options. Is there any way to manually edit an existing dimension to show a double arrow that is actually part of the dimension? I am embarrassed to admit that in the past I have simply placed a separate arrow symbol right next to an existing arrow. Clunky and stupid. Surely there is a better way.

I have never seen a way to manually add them.

Thanks. I appreciate the help. For what its worth, I understand the importance of standards and support their use. But still, Solidworks is a tool. A carpenter doesn't let his hammer tell him how to build a house, and I frankly resent Solidwork's insistence to enforce standards on me when honestly they do not apply in all situations. Rant over.
