Section Line Arrows

Anonymous — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 15:50:09 GMT

Is it possible to create a unique section arrow for IDW/DWG's as it seems the user has to user Inventor's default arrow?

Hi markben,

Thanks for your post on the Inventor Answer Day!

If I understtod correctly you want to change the default arrowhead style, so hopefully the following screencast might help you:

My apologies I think it's an issue due to me running through my tablet.

It's unlisted, but it still works, at least on my Chrome browser (both Win7 & Win10).

Thanks for the video unfortunatly this is not what I require. I need to make a user specific section arrow where I can indicate the section reference as well as the drawing number if the section has been created on another sheet. See attachment. Creating multiple sheets and pulling details and sections to those sheets is an easy enough task, its the referencing of those sections and details that become a headache.

Please add votes to these, since this is a major factor in how Autodesk prioritizes their work.
