Dimension in a Detail View

Ok...

So you know how if you have a "partial" view and "show" a dimension
that goes outside the boundary, that it will have a dim that
references the edge and at the other end it has a double arrow?

Following me?

I have a detail view that I want to do the same thing with a
dimension, problem is it shows both leader lines, with the other end
hanging out in space. Can I force it to be a "double arrow" type?
What would you do?

Let me gues, I didn't buy the
"basic_functionallity_drawing_module_that_costs_extra" module.

 

In your drawing options file, check if these are set as follows:
clip_dimensions YES

clip_dim_arrow_style DOUBLE_ARROW

If it's going to work at all, this will do it.

 

Yeah, that's all set.

I think it has to do with being a detail view and not a "partial"
view. You would think that it would act the same in both places, but
no. It works just fine on a different view on that sheet that is done
as a "partial".

I think I'll just have to make a general view with the "partial" set
and fake the detail callout and title by drawing manually.

irritating

 

Yeah, it is. Quite cathartic actually. Must result to sarcasm
and verbal abuse before I through my computer out the window.

 

AH HA!!! That was exactly what I was looking for! I think you tried
to tell me this before but I didn't understand. Funny, I never even
noticed that set of options in the properties box.
