Dimension Types

Guys, is there a way to set a dimension chain (or even a single dimension line) to have 2 different types of arrowheads?

attached is a pic of an example of what i'm looking for.

first one on the left, the arrowhead is a circle to show that the line is dimension from a centerline of an element. the one in the middle dimensions to a surface of an element, and the last one on the right, the typical 'arrow' dimensions to a grid.

i drew these with simple lines to make the question more logical

thanks!

The dimension tool cannot do this in one operation
You need to create the main dimension string first then add the last dimension in the string with different settings to show no marker.
Last use a line to add the arrowhead on one end.

you could also make a library part that dimensions
with any combination of arrow heads
