Summary0004449: Feature request: Please add a preferences item to suppress the second arrowhead on diameter dimensions.
DescriptionUnlike previous versions, 0.19 Tech Draw is always showing the second arrowhead on diameter dimensions, which can create unnecessary clutter especially on small objects with multiple diameters (a head on view of a small shoulder bolt, for instance). This second arrowhead can be suppressed by setting the "rendering" property to "minimal" but that must be done manually for each individual dimension.
Please add a preference item so that this can become the default setting if the user chooses.
The reason given for the current default setting is that it conforms to ISO and ASME standards, however I suggest that using only a single arrowhead does not violate ISO or ASME standard and is closer to actual common practice.
