Dimension - remove dimension line but not arrows

[jkristia]

I think I have tried every single option in properties, but I still can't figure out how to remove the dimension line between the arrows on the dimension indicating the diameter.

 

Any suggestions ?

 

Thanks

Create a new dimstyle, and in the dimstyle manager,

under the Lines tag tick Supress Dimline 1 & 2

unfortunately that also removed the arrows, I'm only interested in removing the line between the arrows.

ah, sorry i'm not sure then. Hope someone else knows.

Sorry to bump it, but ... any suggestions ?

As a very last resort, you could explode the dimension and erase that line

Alternatively, create an arrow as a block and use the dimension line suppression as mentioned above- there should still be nodes on the extension lines you can snap to.

Both good suggestions which I didn't think of.

You don't need to go to that trouble. Under 'Fine Tuning' in the fit tab, choose 'Place text manually' and deselct 'Draw dim line between ext lines'. Make sure 'arrows' is selected on the left hand side under 'fit options'. You probably need to do this as an override as you probably don't want it for all your dimensions. Hope it helps....

Thank you very much, the arrow setting did the trick
