    Select the dimension, & then edit properties. You''ll see a tick mark parameter with a drop-down list of available tick marks, one of which is a smaller diagonal slash than the default one.

    I agree the default diagonal arrowhead is WAY too long. All our template dimension types have the arrowhead set to Diagonal at 3/64" with a line weight of 4.

    It has always baffled me why OOTB Revit (standard template) dimensions are so "ugly". This is usually one of the first things I have to change when entering a new production environment. Standard drafting practice, manual or automated, should set the tick size equal to one-half the text height (i.e. 3/32" text with 3/64" tick).
