How to change the default Arrowhead List?

maverick.b.jeske — Tue, 17 Mar 2020 05:10:02 GMT

Just wondering if it is possible to edit the Arrowhead drop down list that appears in the properties panel for dimensions and leaders.

by Edit; I mean removing some that I never use (not to big of a deal) and Adding in custom ones that I use quite often (what I want).

Currently the process of adding the block definition, selecting user arrow, selecting the arrowhead.

I guess I'd just like to avoid the multiple clicking for each time I want a custom arrow within a drawing by having it stored by default within the CAD files. and as a bonus not having to do the additional 3 clicks for selecting the custom arrowheads.

Thanks

Hi,

this list is hardcoded, you can't remove or add items to this list.

I would create a template file with the 2/3/4 dimension styles you need and use either the toolpalettes or design center as the way to import the one you need to the current dwg-file. This is then just one drag and drop and you don't need to click 3 times for creating this every time manually.

I had a feeling it would be hardcoded in. Oh well, would of been nice.

Your Suggestion will be taken up as it's a good alternative solution.

Thank you.
