Question

Dimensioning

I am dimensioning an internal diameter, is it possible to remove the extension line? On the attached picture you can see the line I want removed (marked with red arrow). Those internal teeth should all be unobstructed, but I can't get rid of that line.

I don't think you can eliminate them, but you can grab the drag handles and change their length.

You can also flip the diemnsions so it's pointing form outside.

I needed it to be internal like this (weird, i know, but th engineer gets what the engineer wants) so I wound up making it into a linear dimensions and lined it up so that it looked like this type of internal dimension and not whow the extension line, which is fine when I create a PDF of the drawing.

 

It is technically cheating and not the right way, but there didn't seem to be another way of doing what I needed. Thanks all!

You should be able to right click on the dimension and "flip-arrows" so that the dimenion will be in a single line.

Have you tried a right cick on the witness line.  In 4.0 I get the opton to erase the witness line.  I believe the same option was avilable in 2.0 within the properties dialog box.

There is always more to learn.
