I'm trying to flip an arrow head dimension so that it appears within the two dimension lines pointing outwards. I understand that in previous versions of AutoCAD you could just right click -> flip arrow heads, but this version (AutoCAD Electrical 2014) seems to lack this feature...

I created a leader with _DOT arrow using .NET, the size of leaderhead is 0.18" in default. I want to change to other sizes but I did not find the key word. How to set arrow size of leader.

I have this special type of callout, which is not easy to draft, but it looks pretty in plans. Is there any easy way to convert this to multileader?
Usually, I create it as block, insert it and change location of solid arrow around textbox. If I want to relocate this callout, Its not that easy as like multileader. I have to move solid arrow around textframe (from one corner to other) to point the same location. can this be done automatically (like mleader?)
how can I change the default arrowhead size from 3/32 to 5/32... I am able to change it from the palettes only after I insert it.
I would like to have all leaders of all styles match the same style far as arrowhead size... multi-leaders are defaulted as 5/32 and after using them forwe like them this size verses the 3/32 size of the quick leader.
I have some working code that sets the Text Style name to ROMANS inside my Mleader Style called ARROW. Here it is:
(setq dict (dictsearch (namedobjdict) "ACAD_MLEADERSTYLE") ; start setq q
dict1 (member (cons 3 "Arrow") dict) ; code 3 is Mleader Style Description
el1 (entget (cdr (assoc 350 dict1))) ; code 350 is dictionary entity handle
er (tblobjname "style" "Romans") ; new value for MLEADER Text Style
) ; end set
(entmod (subst (cons 342 er) (assoc 342 el1) el1)) ; code 342 is MmTextStyleId - write new vale to mTextStyleId
I want to modify this code so that it sets the Arrow Head Size to a specific value, say 0.125. Having a tough time figuring out the DXF codes and tblobjname to do this.
How do we flip the dimension numbers from one side of the line to another?
My dimension always appears on the left hand side for a vertical line and on the top for horizontal line... Can I make them appear on the bottom or right side?
I have this north arrow that is not working in a clients drawing. Look at this drawing with the block in it and determine why the arrow head is filled in the block editor but not filled in the drawing (model space)???
View 3 Replies View RelatedMleader arrow head didn't change size when change the scale on Object property?
The Arrow head size didn't change corresponding to the scale, i included the pic below, the top picture, the arrow head was set at .18" but was really small when i plot out, so i wanted to make it bigger, when i changed to .50" or .75" or even 1" the arrow head became even smaller than .18". Only when .18" than the arrow side is legible

When I "move a dimension with Leader" is there a way to create an arrowhead on the create3d leader. After I create a Linear Dimension I select it and hover over the blue box in the dimension text and select 'Move with Leader" and the leader does not have an arrowhead. Is there an easy way to do this? Autocad 2012.

In the screenshot below, the default direction of dimensions constrains are given in the direction of digitizing (by design)
How this direction might be flipped?
For example, in the ArcGIS software, one can see the direction of digitizing as well as flipping it

I have not touched AutoCAD for quite some time and I just got back on it today.
For some reason, I cannot seem to be able to get the arrow at both end when I am drawing dimensions. Also, no text (unit) is shown is arrow either...
I loaded the template: Tutorial-mArch.dwt

This is not exactly a CAD issue but I use Inventor at times to create illustrations for math stuff. Is there a way to place a dimension like an arrow with x and y as text.

As you can see in this picture, I have made an iso arrow and then block it, but when I want to use it in the Dimension arrow (user arrow)the block is rotated.

In the attachment, there are 2 dimensions, one of each style. The left one works good, the right one doesn't reflect any changes to arrows (type, size).
I'm drawing a setting-out plan for landscape construction purposes and need the dimensions to have an arrow in the middle of the dimension line to indicate to the contractor the route to follow around site.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have recently started using Architect 2012. We use Architectural Tick for dimensioning.
The problem is the Architectural Tick arrow is not coming in at the proper scale (Arrow head size = 3/32", dimscale varies). The arrow head seems to be out by a scale factor of 25.4 (found by trial and error).
If so is there a software patch or workaround. Can the Architectural Tick block be edited and if so where is it?
(using Windows 7 - 64bit)
Please take a look at the attached dynamic block.
I have two flips in there, one verticle, one horizontal. For some reason, whenever I tell it to flip, and then select everything in the block, it doesn't flip the other flip's arrow.
Then, when I created the second arrow, and went back to include the first flip in the second flip's Action Selection Set, it doesn't pick it up. Doesn't matter if I do "modify selection set" or "new selection set"... doesn't matter if I select everything within (blue box) or everything that touches (green box).
Yet, when I highlight the icon box, it shows everything is selected.
Can flips not flip other flips?
Additionally, I want the rotation parameter to flip on the horizontal flip (so it stays outside the block), but I can't get that into the selection either.
What am I missing with these selection parameters?
Is there a way to change the leader arrowhead size without changing the dimension arrow/tick size?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get the dimension text that I pull out to the side closer to the actual dimension marks. The 2 1/2" and 2" shown have a minimum distance they can get toward their dimensions. I would like it to be about half of what it is, but so far I haven't been able to find the property that changes that.
