Dimension Dilemma for Shop Drawings

[KimiF1]

I have a question regarding setting up two types of dimension lines. I'm attaching two photos of what I'm trying to do. I tried using Layer Translator to bring over the dimension files and types, and also checking the Dimension Style Manager to make sure that the exact boxes are checked.

I spent the entire day yesterday trying to figure this out and am reaching out to you experts. I believe the arrows (not tick marks) have something to do with the "break line". If I remove the break line, the dimensions change back to tick marks. I hope this makes sense.

My apologies, as the files were too large. Here are the photos...

Hello again.
I see your pictures and I'm not sure which is the one you are trying to duplicate.
I see the dimension with the break line and the arrow head, I'm not sure how that was created.
But what I do for dimensions that "extend" (not to a line) is use a double arrow.
We have a block we insert and assign (user defined) to one end of the dimension.

You could actually create a dimension style and just update that one as you need it

If all you need is to copy dimstyles between drawings and templates Design Center makes this an easy task.
If the displayed dimensions have overrides you need to save them as named dimstyles first using the aidimstyle command or simply use the right-click menu:
