Flipping Dimension Arrows

When dimensioning, the dimension arrows will automatically point either inwards or outwards, depending on the positioning of the dimension text. In some cases, where the dimension line is very short and the dimension is positioned in the middle, the arrows may be very close to each other. In such a situation, it may be difficult to determine whether the arrows point outwards or inwards. This function can be used to force the dimension arrows to flip around.

You can flip the dimension arrows of a dimension added with the Fast Dimensioning function.

1. Select Dimensions> Flip Dimension Arrows.
2. Flip dimension arrows by selecting the function from the additional menu.
   • Dimension arrows inside
   • Dimension arrows outside
   • Changing dimension text to selected side
3. Accept by clicking the middle mouse button.

Dimension arrows inside

After selecting the additional function, select the dimension whose dimension arrows you want to flip to face inwards.

Dimension arrows outside

After selecting the additional function, select the dimension whose dimension arrows you want to flip to face outwards.

Changing dimension text to selected side

After selecting the additional function, click on the side of the dimension text to which you wish to move it.

The dimension will be positioned back in the middle of the dimension line if you select either of the following:

• Dimension arrows inside
• Dimension arrows outside

Note

• You can undo the change by pressing the Ctrl+Z keys after accepting the flipping of the dimension arrows.
