Diameter Dimension Text Flips

[daluigi]

Diameter dimension in NX6: when using 'Manual Placement - Arrows In', I can figure out how to be able to reduce the dimension leader line without having the leader text flipping on the other side of the leader end - see picture attached...

Help welcome.

Yes, it does that . . .
Put your dimension where you want it then flip the leader to the other side. It should stay on the other side until the dimension is moved.
I would like to hear what others say about this - because dimenions, and notes, like what you are doing can be a bit of a hassle to work with.

I can't remember exactly, but either pressing the ALT or CTRL key when dragging the dimension will prevent the leader from switching sides.

oh yea, depressing the CTRL key while movng the dimension does keep it from flipping - thanks
