Flipping dimension arrows

[Jpier]

I am working on a drawing where I have a section that is very narrow compared to the rest of the dimensions. In order to make my dimension for this narrow section readable, I need to flip the arrows to the outside. I read where you are supposed to 'right-click' the dimension and then you are offered the option to 'flip' the arrows. When I 'right-click' the dimension, I get a window with multiple options like..repeat Zoom, repeat input, cut, copy, etc...

 

How do I 'flip dimension arrows'?

You need to make sure Noun/Verb selection is turned on for right-click context sensitive menus to work. After you turn that on, you should find lots of new options on your right click menus that change according to the type of object you have selected, including "Flip Arrow" for dimensions.

 

Options > Selection > Noun/Verb selection

PICKFIRST = 1 from the command line

I've found the easiest way to arrange the arrow position is to simply select the dimension so the grips are displayed, grab the text grip to make it hot, and drag it into the position you desire. The arrows will follow to the outside.

Cant you arrange in the dimension style function what needs to happen when text and arrows don´t fit inside the dimension line? I thought it was possible.

My Noun/verb selection was on and my PICKFIRST was set at 1. I am confused how those are supposed to help me. However, today when i went into dimstyle and modified my fit options in the dimension style manager to force just arrows to the outside, they did go to the outside. So, thanks for your help.
