Exploded dimensions in LT 2014 changing appearance

We recently added one license of LT 2014, and the Explode command works differently than before with dimensions.

 

Using the standard filled arrowhead, the arrows now explode into unfilled triangles.  In past versions it's always exploded into the filled arrowhead, just like it was when created. 

 

Can't find any option to alter the way Explode works.  Anyone know the answer?

Checked again - it's only when attempting in older drawings.  When a new drawing is made, it explodes as it used to.  Anything from LT2007 and before though (and possibly later, but we don't have any between 2007 & 2014).

 

Also attempted to save a newly created drawing as an LT 2007 .DWG, but it exploded just fine. 

 

Any help is appreciated.

fonts/text changed after 2007: your problem is due to the changes. No fix unless you can somehow save and update the old file as a 2014 file (perhaps an INSERT into a template file? no guarantees).

Thank you for the response.



I'm surprised the leaders/arrows have anything to do with fonts, but I really have no idea how it's organized.



We had success by just copying the entire 2007 drawing into a newly opened blank drawing in 2014, then saving as a 2007 for other workstations to access. Hopefully there aren't many more problems like this.
