    David,

    It can be done, but the selection method is a bit finickey, too many clicks
    and you missed the turn. If I remember correctly, you have to click in open
    space, move the cursor over the dimension to preselect it, Left click to
    turn it red, then right click once fast to flip arrows.

    Good luck!

    I'm a little confused. Flipping arrows with the right mouse button while
    dragging dimensions works the same way it always had for me. Have been
    through many spins of WF 2 (currently M170) and haven't noticed any change
    since we first switched over (M060 original).

    What version are you guys using?

    From all the responses that said it worked I tried again. It does work but as someone said you have to hold down the right button while clicking the left. Before I just selected and moved the dim then released the LMB to click the RMB. Same basic steps, just need to keep the LMD down now.
    Thanks for the rapid replies.

    It works a little differently now. I don't remember exactly how it worked
    in 2001. It's kinda tricky because in WF2, you have to hold down the LMB
    while while dragging the dim and simultaneously click the RMB to flip the
    arrows. I think in 2001 you don't need to hold down the LMB to drag (I
    could be wrong though).

    It works when you first create the dimension. Haven't found a way to flip the arrows on an existing dimension or after you've created the dimension and committed it by hitting the middle mouse button or picking done.

    Yes, it still works the same but is more difficult to use now, since you have to hold down the LMB to move a dimension instead of just clicking on it to "pick it up". Now, I have to hold my mouse with my thumb and pinky, hold down the LMB, and click the RMB with my ring finger to use this function. Not exactly the most ergonomic scenario.

    Several have responded that it works. It DOES work, but it's NOT the same.
    You have to hold AND hold the LEFT mouse button (which initiates the move),
    and then click on the RIGHT mouse button to flip arrows. In 2001, once you
    were moving, all you had to do was click on the RMB to flip arrows...

    If it is an existing dimension, select the dimension and move the
    dimension. While holding down the left mouse button, press the right
    mouse button and the arrows will flip.

    I believe in 2001 you didn't have to do this. You could just pick the
    dimension and right mouse click and the arrows would flip. You learn
    something new everyday.

    It still works but like many other things in WF2 it has become a little bit more complicated:
    While pressing the LMB you have to click the RMB.
