ArrowHead ID Name For Autocad Leader

vkpunique — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 12:55:13 GMT

I am using this code Creating an AutoCAD leader with a different arrowhead using .NET - Through the Interface (keanw.com)

to generate leader with different type of arrow head and it's working well, only problem is that i can't figure out name or block for specific arrow, for Example "_DOT" for Dot type arrow head, "_DOTBLANK" for dot without filling

I am writing my custom code set different type of arrow head for my leader and i need list of all arrow head Name.

@vkpunique

Beside Jeff's excellent list,

be aware that 'DIMBLK' may also be "." which like "" will have an ID of (0)

ie ObjectId.Null

Perhaps have a play with this , for a better understanding
