    I dimension a vertically and drag to the right. The dimension text is on
    the left. I want the dimension text on the right (on the outside). How? I
    can't seem to figure this out.

    click on the green dot where the leader intersects with the line pointing to
    the number--this flips the orientation

    That just moves the arrows inside/outside.

    then you're clicking the wrong dot--try some other ones

    is this by chance a revolved feature with ordinate dims?

    It's a revolved feature - not an ordinate dim. Also, I'm dimensioning from
    a cross section.
