Creo Drawings - Arrow Tail Length

I am trying to figure out how to change the length of the tails on dimension arrows in Creo 2.0. I found how to change the size of the arrows, but the tail lengths are still very long.

 

Any help you can provide will be appreciated.

In the config.pro for drawings these might help:

dim_leader_length - set length of dimension leader line when leader arrows are outside of witness lines.

dim_text_gap - controls distance between dimension text and dimension leader line and represents the ratio between gap size and text height. For diameter dimensions, it controls the extension of an elbow beyond the text if "text_orientation" is "parallel_diam_horiz".

Hope this helps. Dale
