NX 9, I would like to know where I can set the arrow behavior from two arrows that are on the outside to the outside of a PMI diameter dim, to one arrow
on the outside of a diameter feature. I can change it one at a time by right clicking and edit but where is it located so that when I create the PMI dim
it does not need changed. I can change all perimeters in drafting preferences to just fine but there does not seem to be a toggle to switch from one or two arrows.
I looked in customer defaults as well. Maybe I am just missing something.

Thanks,Buddy.

I could not get rid of the second arrow head on the diameter dim,. Try using the hole dimension instead.
 
Is it possible that you could use the hole dimension instead of the diameter dimension ?
 
I would recommend that you use the Radial Dimension function with the 'Method' set to 'Hole Callout' and if you don't want something like the 'Thru' notation included, select the 'Settings -> Holes Callout' option and toggle OFF the 'Depth' item.

JohnRBaker: I think he just wants one arrow on the PMI dia dim? That would be the hole dimension function.
