The dimension arrws are not printed even though it is shown properly in print preview. I though that it was too small to be shown on print but eventually I do not think that this is the case
How can I print a dimension with its arrows but without it's dimension lines?
For example--I draw a rectangle and draw a horizontal dimension across the center of the rectangal. Then I flip the arrows and drag the number to the left outside of the rectangal. I want arrows facing inward from the left and right and the number out to the left. I don't want a line stretched across the center of the rectangal.
When I have to scale something after bringing it in from another drawing (Windows copy, paste), usually (but strangely not always, it seems) the dimension text and arrows are all messed up. If I scale down, they are (obviously) way too big, up, and they are microscopic. How is this best avoided / dealt with? I imagine it is something with the DIMSTYLE not being copied over or something?
I have utilized the "old school" Flow Line Lintetype (with the ARROW that is never really centered) for many years
I have been trying to acquire the preferred FlowLine Arrow Linetype (complex with the arrow shape)
So far, I have not succeeded. What is the easiest way to obtain/create this preferred linetype ? (arrow directions change with the direction of the polyline)....
I'm trying to create a Logo in Adobe Illustrator CS4 for a small company which requires me to have 3D arrows originating from a point in all directions. The arrows should be thin and not thick ones. More so, the end effect should be like sparks emanating from a center and in all directions. How to do this in Illustrator CS4 ???
I am trying to use the line shape tool. However, the shape stroke type affects the arrows. Does it mean that I have to draw the line first, without the arrows, and then add the solid arrows to the line
I am having an issue with my dimensions. If I have a dimension that is 1'-3" or larger, my extension line beyond my dimension line extends the normal length, but as soon as my dimension goes under 1'-3", the extension line then gets twice as long outside of the dimension line (see attachment). I have researched...and i can't seem to find a dim variable that will let me change this. is there anything to control this happening once my dimension goes below 1'-3"?
see attached jpg. I want to know if there is a way to get rid of the "extension line" that the diameter dimension creates?
as you can see it runs over the slots on my detail and looks confusing.

When you make a diameter or radius dimension it always has this static extension line shown in red when you move the dimension far enough away. I can not seem to extend this extension line at all it is always the same length no matter what variable I change. How to lengthen this extension line?
It's 2012. I haven't found a setting in the dim style or the RMB options to turn off the extension line. I saw the posts showing drawing a sketch in the view but come on, all that to just turn off the line?
By some setting or default, when I dimension a diameter in Autocad 2010, I get a dim line that only has one arrow that points to one side of a circle, just like a radius. I'd like the diameter dims to have an arrow on both sides of circles.
I've been through the settings in Dimstyles. and didn't find a combination that made the desired change. I've looked at the properties for a specific diameter dimension and found nothing that worked there. I looked into block modifications using BEDIT and Properties, but I found nothing there either. While I may have overlooked a combination of changes in Properties, I tried a lot in there.

When I create a line label, one of the components available is “Direction Arrow”. This component is not available for “Curve” labels. I would really like to use C3D labels to indicate direction (I realize curves don't have a 'direction', but I don’t mind manually flipping and reversing the arrow). Is there any other label option in C3D that will draw a direction arrow for curves?
I am using MEP 2011 and have started a new project. Having gone to use the above tool, i am getting no text for the dimension nor the customary arrows at each end of the duct piece i am measuring.
I have attached a small jpeg to illustrate. The dimension is the green line.
I noticed a post a few years ago mentioning this function wasn't available then. Is it still not available? Is there a routine? A lisp? An expression that I can make to put a slope arrow inside every tin in my surface with a % grade?
How do I scale dim arrows and text not the value itself to be bigger. if the dim is 1" I want it to stay 1" but just be larger. In autocad there was a variable I could set to scale to different sizes. does this exist with inventor or do I have to go through style editor and manually change the sizes and save off to a new style.
I've seen that its possible to have multiple drop-down arrows (lookup/visibility states) within 1 block. How do I do that? I am redoing my title block & would find this extremely handy for all the different options I want to select.
How to switch the direction of text arrows?I’m wondering if there is a way to switch the direction of the text arrows from being left directed to be right?
I was using AutoCAD 2009 and it was set up for me. Now I'm using 2012. How do I get the big thick coloured UCS (XYZ) that looks like three arrows back on screen. The one that is on my screen at the moment is the one that looks like three thin stiks (XYZ).
I've been asked to create some plots of vector arrows showing the results from water current metres, ie each data point has a position (x and y only), direction and a velocity.
I have created a dynamic block to handle the vector data (a simple arrow with a stretch and rotate controls)
What I need now is to somehow read in the values for each block from an excel spreadsheet or txt file?

I would like to be able to occasionally add figures such as circles, arrows etc into my Videostudio Pro X3 project, a little bit like the graphics toolbar in Microsoft Word.
Having just upgraded to CS2 after years of using Photoshop 7 I am finding that when I try to move or nudge a selection with the keybord arrows (R-L-Up-Down) nothing happens,I end up using my mouse which is a pain and not very accurate in some cases. I'm on a new Dell with XPPro and have tried 3 different keybords with the same result.
