I'm looking to add a diametrical datum call-out on a shaft. I want it to be the square call-out with the filled triangle in line with diameter dimension per the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard. The dimension is on the profile view of the shaft. I cannot for the life of me find a clean way to do this. I can float the symbol on one of the outside arrowheads, but it looks bad. I tried to delete the arrowhead, but both disappeared.

Any help is appreciated.
