Dim Text Leader issue and need help please

[Dj_T_Rex2002]

Is there a variable to force dimension text line to show? I am using annotative dimensions and the placement for the text is forced to the outside of the dimension if it doesn't fit. I get annoyed on having to move the text to show the dimline above the dimension. Please help, thanks.

check dimension style settings. 'fit' tab and then there is a section called text placement..... can set it to do what you want, but make sure you sent this style as standard and create dim from scratch to be sure. hope that helps.

As per bennyboy's suggestion, set your dimstlye FIT, like this is

probably what you are after.

Thanks for the advice guys. Doing what Dadgad said keeps it from adding a dim leader. I want to keep the dimleader, I just want to make it show up in the drawings. It shows up if I stretch it to where it shows fractions. I don't know if you guys have tried inserting a dimensions and it doesn't show the dim leader line.
