I finally decided to go looking for a way to change the length of the dimension line extension in SW2017 (shown in attached image). Not sure if this is a default or something that got set in-house somewhere along the way, but I want to shorten it. Been manually dragging the handle for way too long. I tweaked several candidates in the Document Properties Dimensions dialog box but cannot seem to affect this length.
TIA,
<tg>

telecomguy,

This should be controlled by the bent leader length setting value in Annotations for the note and in Dimensions for dimensions.​

Well how about that. Who in the world laid out that dialog box. The whole left side has to do with the text display (font, precision, fractions, zeroes, units...) and the right side is about the lines & arrows. But there's that one leader item over there and of course I overlooked it. Thanks! <tg>
