I've never used SE. BUT can you double click the arrow or are there grips to drag them to the outside? Or is there a dialog box that may give you the option to flip to the outside or inside?
I may not have the answer but just some ideas.

I am interested in this forum because I may be moving on to employment with a company that used SE. I've got an Eval CD on its way. Currently using SW

Hi,

at least in V18/SP3:

select one of the arrows and drag it to the outside. It's a little
bit cumbersome because sometimes SE won't recognise this and will
move the dimension up and down instead. If thsi happens you
have to click into empty space to unselect and reselect

Move mouse over the arrow while tip is inside the arrow, press the left mouse button and hold it, move mouse to outside of the leadline.
 
HI,
I am running solid edge v18. Trying to place a part on a Draft file with other parts (that will show up on the bill of material), but I do not want it to show up in the list of material. How can I set this up????
