Hi

 

Does anyone know where the length of the dimension tails is controlled? These "tails" show up on dimensions that are too short to harbor the dimension number on its length.

Under "Arrow Options" do you have checkmark on Show Tails? If so uncheck it or you should be able to control the length.

Thanks Richard. That seems to only control the tails of the other dimensions - the ones where the numbers fit between the extensions.

Consider using a Slash Arrow.  There just isn't enough space to fit arrows between your extensions and there is not any way that I know of to force them.

While I prefer the look of filled arrows, I see that slash arrows do not have this same uncontrollable tail. Thanks

And, is there a place in System Options that I can adjust the size of Dimension Pointers?

As far as I am aware, we can only adjust the Dimension/Extension text size, cross over, and start distance in the System, Project, and Drawing settings. Usually when I open a drawing, I right click the extension and adjust the arrow size in the properties. Then I use Draw Select to keep the properties of that set dimension and replace any other ones that require smaller arrows. If there is a way that someone knows how to change arrow size from the system settings, I would like to know because it comes in handy for doing details at small scale.
