Radius dimension line too long

When a radius is dimensioned (with a line and arrow) it results in a long line that goes all the way to the center. Is there a way to shorten this line so it is just long enough for the dimension value when the text is above and aligned with the dimension line? I tried turning off the center mark, but that had no effect. AutoCAD does this automatically by default, but I could not find a setting in Bricscad V24 for this. Maybe I missed something?

    It will be a setting in the dim style mine only drew from the arc edge. Problem dim has so many now which one.

    Type this (entget (car (entsel))) and select the arc dim. Compare to this one, ignore the X Y Z points and entity names, you can check yours by using ID and pick point.

    Hello @ggranger3,

    If I understood your question correctly, the setting you are looking for is "Dim line forced" (DIMTOFL system variable).

    You can create a new dimension style where this setting is turned off from the Drawing Explorer, or you can select all your Diametric Dimensions and turn the setting off for them from the Properties Panel.

    All the best,
    Billie
