Ed,
When I was in the 4-year trade school program to learn machining, it was alternate weeks of academic and shop. During academic week, machinist trainees were required to have daily classes of mechanical drawing and related theory. In drawing we were taught to avoid putting dimensions within the object to keep it clear and easily understood.
With that in mind as a draw a part, I try to dimension things like those radii by having the leader line generate outward and place the actual dimension outside the object.
This isn't meant to say your doing anything wrong, just that I was taught to do it a different way.
Overall the prints look just fine and I wouldn't have any trouble making one. If I ever thought I could use one.
