Require Ability to Control the Dimension Terminator Size

Sizes of the four dimension terminator symbols (arrow, open circle, filled dot, and slash) are all controlled by the Dimension Styles dialog, terminator width and height.

As shown in the attached screenshot ours is set up so that the arrow width equals the text size and the arrow height is half that. These settings also work well for the open circle terminator, but not so good for the filled dot or the slash. The other example attached is a slightly contrived single dimension that uses all four of these terminators. Actually this single terminator is the desired look for this drawing other than the slash terminator at the bottom and the wrong sized filled dot.

The filled dot is much too small to be visible with these settings. The optimal size for this particular drawing would be half the Height (it is currently a quarter of the Height). The slash would probably look better if the height and width were reversed.

These sizes seem to be hard-coded into the software. Is this still true? Some have commented that the solution is to have different styles that use the different terminator symbols. That solution is not ideal. The terminators should work together as a system as shown in the example above.

Please add settings so that these other dimensions can be sized to look better with more flexibility.
