After importing a block of a floor plan, I seem to have lost my oblique arrowheads. I can select and use all the other types of arrowheads, but when i select the oblique style i get nothing.
I'm dimensioning in paperspace.
This is for CS4. I want to apply two arrowheads of different sizes to one end and the other end of a line. This is not possible with CS4 under "Add Arrowhead" where the size of the arrowhead (Scale) applies to both the Start and End arrowheads.Illustrator allows to apply several instances of an effect to an object. So I apply one instance of "Add Arrowheads" for the Start end with a given arrowhead Scale (size of arrowhead), and another instance of "Add Arrowheads" for the other End with a different Scale. The second "Add Arrowheads" instance of the effect does not behave at all as expected (it adds two "disfigured" arrowheads even though I ask for one arrowhead only).How can I use two working instances of "Add Arrowheads" to reach my goal?

I could find anything in: Modify Dimension Style
Where should I change this angle?
How to make oblique lines to be horizontal when copied?
I’m wondering if there is a coot tool that enables copying a set of oblique lines to make them horizontal.
Sure there are many ways to do that but looking for the most brilliant way.

how to create a text selection set using rotation and oblique angles. I am working isometric drawings from a Microstation conversion and want to create a lisp to set text style to conform to current standards. For example, iso text in the right plane would be rotated 30 degrees and have an oblique angle of 30 degrees based on the style from the conversion. however,
(setq txtisor (ssget "X" '((0 . "MTEXT,TEXT")(50 . 0.523599)(51 . 0.523599)))) returns nil.
since (setq txt0 (ssget "X" '((0 . "MTEXT,TEXT")(50 . 0)))) returns all text at zero degrees, I figure there is something wrong about the way the angles are being entered.
If I wish to create an arrow, which will joggle all over my drawing, to represent a work flow, how can I do this?
In other words, how do I place an arrowhead at the end of my polyline, and areas along the polyline, as it reaches it's finial destination?
I'm looking for a function that lets me take a rectangular face viewed from an oblique angle, and square it up as if I were looking straight at it.
For example (can't draw pictures to show you what I mean), suppose I take a photo of an apartment building while I'm standing across the street and off to one side. I need a tool that lets me click on the four corners of the building's face and un-distorts the face, making it rectangular.
I have used a non-PDN tool (GIMP? Photoshop?) that had this capability. We used it to model the buildings at [URL] .... from actual photos.
Now I'd like to do this with PDN. I read about Evan Olds' Quadrilateral Reshaping and dpy's Perspective Effect. I've installed both plug-ins, and while they can do the trick with a little nudging, they're not exactly what I'm looking for.
I want to edit the default arrowhead. I know how to create custom-arrows, etc. but I want the versitility of having arrow heads on many layers, not the zero layer or any other layer that the arrow block-definition is on; and I do not want to use the pointed arrow.
Where may I edit the arrow, or substitute my own; and in what format is it in?
I have a lisp program that creates a arch leader with a arrowhead on the end. All of a sudden the arrowhead does not appear on the end of the leader but out on space. Not sure what this is happening.

I have created a SketchLine entity and trying to add aligned dimension by calling DimensionConstraints::AddTwoPointDistance(). It adds the dimension with inside arrowhead (see attached CurrentWorking.jpg), however, it would be nice if the dimension is added with outside arrowhead (see attached Expected.jpg).
if there is any API to toggle the dimension arrowhead accordingly.
I am trying to custom a new linetpye as below, with an arrowhead at the beginning and at the end but point to opposite direction. This is easy to build such linetype in Microstation, but I am new in autocad.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a series of existing dimensions from others which I want to put on a screened layer so they aren't prominent. They are dimension objects, and going into the dimension style manager, I can change the color of the dimension and extension lines and the text to "Bylayer," but I can't find a place to change the color of the arrowhead, which, in this case, is not an arrowhead but is an oblique slash.
I exploded one of these dimensions, and with "List" I found that the slash was a block called "Oblique." When I exploded this, it became a line, which was on Layer 0, and its color was set to a specific color, not on "Bylayer".
Is there a way in which I can change the attribute of this dimension style to override this specifically set color of the oblique line to reset to the color I want it to print in (in this case, "Bylayer").
I am able to create my own leader style, a loop, similar to the "dot blank" option that ACAD provides.
However, as with any leader style, once you pick the starting point of your leader you must extend it a certain length in order for the arrow, dot, slash, etc. to appear. This is a draw back in tight spaces where you are trying to fit the leader and the subsequent text.
Basically I would like to know if there is a setting that will allow me to pick the starting point of the leader and have the shortest length of leader line while still showing the "arrowhead".
I realize I can scale down the arrowhead type to give me more space. I realize I can explode the leader and shorten the line portion of the leader. I realize I can create a block of a "leader" that will give the appearance that I am looking for.
However, these are last ditch options if there is no solution.

I normally use auto-ballooning to place balloons within a drawing and then "season to taste". Is there a way to control how and where the arrowhead gets attached to an object?
I need to fill the object with oblique lines of one color - strips rotated 45deg. Among them is empty, that is to be visible below the bottom (lower layer) of this texture. Somehow I can not figure out how to do it: ps textures are useless/complex and other standard off are not "leaky". So far I have dealt with manually, copy lines and trimming.

If I delete the line/arrowhead, remove any arrowhead designation in "Add Arrowheads" dialog and draw a different line, the arrowhead still appears.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have drawn hundreds of straight lines with arrowheads (in PSP X2) in the past.But now I need the first time to draw a round line (approx half of a full circle).I tried a couple of variants and expected a three-step-drawing:
First click to place a start node then click a middle node and finally third click the end node.Afterwards I should be able to move the middle node and PSP should complete a round arrow line.But I cannot achieve this.
It happens e.g. always that an area is created and filled with red color.I don't want to fill an area - just one line.What exactly do I have to select in the parameter toolbar for "Mode" "Contour" "Connect segments" "Miter Join",.
I have an annotation family with about ten different types built into it. When I import this into a project, the Arrowhead option (in the Type Properties) of each type is set to 'none'. I do not see anywhere in the family editor to set that value to 20 Degrees Filled. Is there a way to accomplish this, or must I set the arrowhead values each time I load a tag (which seems absurd and redundant).

View 11 Replies View RelatedMy company has been using Designer 9 for years and we have thousands of drawings done in it. We have upgraded to X5 recently and I have noticed every time I open a file that has arrowheads it adds them to the list in X5. So my choice of arrowheads in X5 now is in the hundreds. I am wondering if there is a way to stop X5 from automatically adding new arrowheads to the list each time I open a new drawing. I have two sizes of arrows I want listed and nothing else.

example: i have a layer called test1 with color green i have a meleader with a Dot as an arrowhead when i go to the viewport and change the vport color to red
well everything changes expt the arrowhead which will take the layer color (green) but if i go to properties and i change the arrow head to closedfilled then it will take the vport color (wierd) i did the test with autocad 2008 to 2012 all the same problem
i did tried with a qleader and it works fine.
Is there a way to change the leader arrowhead size without changing the dimension arrow/tick size?
