similar to this (I hope it posts well). If you have a tappered cutout and
the angle is very small, I need to detail the bottom (narrowest) part. If i
do this with a normal dimension the extension lines cover the object lines
and it makes it look like they are pointing to the top of the angle. Is
this possible without haveing to draw little lines, dimension and then
override the dim text.

 

click on the dimension, and drag the #'s where you want them
there will be green dots on the ends of the witness lines
click on dot, and drag the end of the witness line to where you want it

 

Hello
Thanks for your input but that dosent work. All it does is move the witness
line attachment along the axis of the line. I want it to be bent like I
drew in the diagram. Do you know wjat I mean?
Thank you
