Hi Alex, in the Jan-22-2020 v4 beta there is now an option for putting the arrows to the outside like you want there.

It's under Arrows > Position = "Outside" , and also when it is set some additional options for "Outside line length" and "Draw line across" will appear in the "Dim lines" section:



It does not try to place the text to the outside but (it looks like you've seen this already) you can turn on edit points for a dim with Edit > Show pts and then drag the point for the text to position it off to the side where you want it.

You can set Arrows > Position = "Outside" on an individual dimension by using the "Details..." button in the object properties that shows up for the selected object, or also set it as a preset under Options > Dimensions, then select that preset when you initially draw the dimension.

Let me know if that was not what you were looking for.
