Dimension Properties

 From:  wisty

Am I missing something obvious - not unusual!
When dimensioning objects to produce a drawing, I can go into Options and create a number of presets in addition to the default. However when I create a dimension on the drawing itself there seems to be no way of selecting a particular preset set of properties other than the one selected in Options.
The object properties dialogue for a dimension gives me the option of selecting a different style, but that only seems related to colour.
What I would like to create is a range of dimension presets ( arrow positions, text positions etc), and apply them at the point of creating the dimension.
If the style option could be replaced with a choice of presets choice in the object properties that would be ideal.
Or as I said, am I missing something!!!
