double arrows 2008

[handleonit]

Does anyone know how to get double arrows to show up on horizontal or vertical dimensions? I'm on a section view (side view of diameter)that I want to spec out a diameter with a dimension.

As in 'Foreshortened'? With the drawing opened, Tools->Options->Document Properties->Foreshortened Diameter.

Tools - Options - Document Properties - Foreshortened Diameter, then select the "double arrow" or "break w/single arrow"

or do you mean as in .....

Right clicking the radius or diameter dimension and select Display as linear?

Use "multi-Jog leader" (under annotation Toolbar or pull down).

Select initial location and select last location. RMB (Right mouse button) and select "End Leader".

Tada! double arrow.
