NX 12, Restricting Diameter Dimension to One Arrowhead 1

[ErichChristian]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to dimension a hole with one arrowhead like in the first picture. This is an existing dimension on a drawing that I did not create. Every time I create my on diametrical dimension, NX adds two arrowheads as seen in the second picture. It should be as simple to remove the second arrowhead by unchecking "Show Arrowhead" under Dimension Side 2, however every time I click that it removes both arrowheads and i'm not sure why.

It's also kind of funny that the first picture doesn't even show an option for a Dimension Side 2. Please let me know if you have a solution for this problem! This has been bugging me for too long.

Thanks,

In the 'scope' section of the dialog, if you uncheck the "apply to entire dimension" option, turning off arrowhead 2 should work for you.

Alternately, if you double click the dimension, a small edit tool comes up; try toggling the "arrows out diameter" option.

@cowski

I swear I've tried to toggle everything in that box, but i must have missed that option.

Thank you!!

Another note on this, the first option in the shown dialog says "Apply to entire dimension",
the intention is to simplify changes such as line weight, but toggling off one arrowhead will also ....

Note 2) when creating the dimension and the dialog that's seen in cowski's post appears, there is a small "wrench" icon bottom right corner, clicking that will make "colored boxes" appear on the dimension itself
- you can click on these to get object specific options.
