I know how to slant the extension lines in a drawing but that makes the extension lines parallel, is there any way to make the extension lines slant toward each other in SW2003? I'm dimensioning the gauge diameter of a tapered shaft and it would look better if the extension lines slanted toward each other.

Thanks,
