Edit Attachment of 3D dimension

Ok. So I have two drafted walls on a cube. I then put a .02 radius
up one edge. I went to the drawing and tried "show dimension by view"
and it gives me nothing. I dug around and found the
"allow_3d_dimensions" drawing option.

Set it to "yes" and wow, now the radius value shows up on the view.
BUT! I want to move arrow to a different location (ie there are
multiple edges selected in the radius tool, I want the leader attached
to a different one) but it won't let me.

The "edit attachement" option is there, but it won't change
attachments.

I have noticed that the leader is attached to the first edge selected
in the radius tool. However, I can't figure out how to "reorder" or
"move up" an item on the list so that it would be in the first
position and get the leader.

What would you do? (And don't tell me to just add a new dimension
manually to the view) Also, unselecting all the edges and reselecting
them in a different order causes rebuilt errors. There has to be a
way to do it right.

 

Well, you've figured out a lot more about this than I ever knew. But, if
your only real problem is getting the dimension to attach to a particular
reference in a set, there's a couple things you can do. First you could
'Remove' edge references, starting at the top, until you get to the edge
reference you want to 'Show' the value, then add them back; they'll go to
the end of the list. Or, instead of making a single set with multiple
references, make several sets, each of which will show its own dim refs.
This might be the simplest way as it involves NOT doing something, i.e., not
holding down the Ctrl key.

Yeah what a huge PITA. Sure would be nice if the built in "edit
attachment" feature just "worked". I guess that's too much to ask.

I think the best route is the leader note R&D## mentioned earlier.
