Automatic flipping diameter dimension arrows in drawing views.

Automatic flipping diameter dimension arrows in drawing views.

While showing or creating diameter dimension in drawing view, diameter dimension arrows should automatic flip outside of circle if the arrows does not fit inside the circle.

You may want to vote on your own idea....

Just for those who might not be aware, you can quickly flip dimension arrows by tapping the right mouse button (RMB) while you're dragging the dimension by holding the LMB.

Might help a few people out while we're waiting for this to be implemented...

I would prefer to implement functionality which mentioned Jonathan above - using RMB to flip arrows just during creating dimension in Creo 3.0. Because there is a ghost image of creating dimension and you are able to decide about direction of arrows:

It would be solution for all dimension types.

(I don't create own idea, it is the same problem)

IMHO to implement RMB click to Flip Arrows "on the fly" can be done the best as a second command in the menu with Double Value

It would be best for the default to be a single arrow to the outside of the circle.  The diameter symbol makes the second arrow moot.

Updating the status to Alternate solution. The Mini Toolbar was introduced with Creo 5.0 and it is possible to quickly flip the arrows side from there
