    Signal Arrow Style

    How do I remove just the text 'From' or 'To' on the source-destination cross-reference and make it the default. That is, I select '1' on the Signal Arrow Style dialog box, but I do not want the text 'To' on the drawing (I do want the wire #). -- Ed
    Please use plain text.

    Ed, The "to" and "from" text is pulled from the XREF attribute's "prompt" value. To get rid of it, open up each of the signal arrow library symbols (ex: HA1S1.dwg in your JIC1 or JIC125 or IEC2 or IEC4 folder - whichever library you're using), and use DDEDIT to edit the XREF attribute definition. Blank out the "prompt" value in the edit box. Do this to each of the arrow symbols (there are 8 per "style"). That should do it. Nate.
