Drawings dimensioning anomoly

  1. I'm detailing a section view of a cylinder. I bring in my model dimensions
    and move them around to get them into nice positions. On larger diameters,
    sometimes I flip the arrow directions to point inward and put the dimension
    text on the outside of the extension lines, so my dimension is not sitting
    on top of my sectioned part. No problems yet. Next, I click on the
    dimension, go to properties, click the Display button. I turn off both
    extension lines hitting OK as I leave both dialog boxes. My extension lines
    have disappeared, but now I have a line that joins both of my inward facing
    dimension arrows. If I move the text between the arrows, the line goes
    away. This happens about half the time, but I can't figure out what is
    causing it or how to get rid of the extra line. Does anyone have any ideas
    how to get rid of this line?
