How can I add an additional leader to a radius dimension in a PTC Creo 3.0 drawing?

I want to add an additional leader to my drawing on the outside radius dimension to call out the internal radius with it.

 

How can I add the additional leader?

You can't add an addition leader to a dimension. Standard practice is to call it out using 3X for example. If you you want to have multiple leaders you would use a note.

select your leader, RMB create witness line

unless I'm selecting the leader wrong, this is what I get with I RMB:

No create Witness line

this is what I got

With that being said, you may have to select near the arrow, if a little box/circle appears, drag that around.

it means it was already created but just needs some lovin' to show up.

ps - I am playing on CP2 if that makes a difference

I agree Kevin....sometimes standard practice is practical practice to some others.

So you wanted to do this:

and not this:

This would be the best way to do it:

tldr: Create a multiple leader note and inside the note type '&' followed by the dimension parameter, for eg: &d56

Using this video you can add multi leader dimensions and multi leader notes in Creo Parametric drawing.
