Global Disable "Display as chain dimension." for ordinate dimensions

    My ordinate dimensions always appear with arrows and I have to right
    click the dimension, select properties, and uncheck "Display as chain
    dimension.". If I go into the document properties->dimensions there
    is no setting there to enable this by default.

    Curiously, if I autodimension a view with ordinate dimensions, they
    automatically appear without arrows.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello Larry,

    The arrows show up when you use the ISO standard in your drawing
    options.
    If you usi ANSI you will not see the arrows.

    Oh, OK, Thanks. That would explain why a drawing I made using someone
    else's ANSI based template didn't put the arrows on my chain
    dimensions ... I was really starting to pull my hair out.
