    Following on from this dims question I thought I would post here instead of opening a new thread.

    Anyone got any idea how I force the arrow heads inside the dimension here and not have them outside the way it defaults?

    Attached dwg.

    Cheers

    I set the text offset to .025 and it moved them inside.

    Even if you set it to .5 it will put the arrows inside
