Although I received the very first mailing of e-cabinets,I've just been learning version 5 for the past couple of months.
My problem: In line editor I can place dimensions on a single cabinet just
fine,but if I am placing dimensions on an assembly, the dimension arrows
are super sized..the numbers are the correct size and the setting for arrow size has not changed, just the arrow sizes themselves.
I can copy a single cabinet from an assembly onto the same page as the assembly and the arrows will be the correct size. Am I making sense? Has anyone else had the same problem? I feel uneasy sending funny looking drawings to the architects we work for.

Mike and Chuck,
I am supprized this hasn't been answered.
But there is a setting in the upper right hand side of the line drawing editor (LDE). It is a BLUE outline box with the letters PRM inside it. Click on that icon and a dialog will pop up. Note the size for the over run and length try 1/16\" in the width try 1/32\" and the gap try 3/16\". This should work for you both.
Hope this helps.

The size in the Parameter box doesn't seem to relate smoothly to the the size of the arrow. I sometimes have had to input very small numbers to get a reasonable size arrow. Also it seems that the arrow size changes without respect to the value in PRM. For example in one drawing a number like width = 3/16 is fine but in another drawing the same value produces huge arrows.

If you drew your dimension lines prior to changing the \"PRM\" they will still be the same size they were when you saved it.
1. Click on the dimension lines to highlight it,
2. Click \"PRM\" and reset the \"PRM\" to your desired setting,
3. Click okay,
this should correct the problem.
