Here is a little macro that I wish I had thought of a couple decades ago. This will toggle between the display of dimension witness lines 1 & 2 ten times so if on the first click it doesn't look right, just click on your dimension again and it will toggle the reverse line on/off. When it's how you like, just right click out.
I used to have individual buttons, one button for Line 1=ON / Line 2=OFF and another button for Line 1=OFF / Line 2=ON. I would use these to turn off individual witness lines to show overlapping linework and just leave the tick mark. Thing is, unless I had just created the dimension, I never really know which side of the dimension witness line 1 or 2 was on since it's determined by the direction the dimension was originally drawn. And unless I stare at the string of dimensions like a monkey doing algebra for a few seconds, I'm clueless. Hope it can help save others a few clicks in the decades to come.
