Drawing style uniformity (section / auxiliary view)

Hello All,

 

I've search for the answer on the forum but couldn't find it. So perhaps nobody asked it yet.

We've adjusted the styles of our drawing to our liking, there is just one setting which it seems cannot be changed to match the other styles.

I've attached a screenshot of the settings for a section view, this is how we like it.

The arrows of the section view are pointing in the right direction and always towards the line.

 

If we create projected view and we want to place it elsewhere we can break the alignment.  This results in a auxiliary view. Here are the arrows pointing in the right direction but are pointing away from the line. I can't seem to change this?

Off course we could make a section view next to the view to create the same view as the auxiliary view, this would solve this problem. But we often create this kind of view when there are already dimensions, detail views etc on it. With break alignment this is all preserved.

 

Is there a way to change the arrows in this kind of view?

 

Please let me know, and if there are questions please let me know.

Hi

It seems to me that this difference is intentional precisely for the purpose of distinguishing auxiliary views from section views. The most important feature of a technical drawing is readability and unambiguity, which means that each scenario/feature has its own unique identifier.

Hello Kacper,

 

This would explain why a auxiliary view can't match the same style as the section view.

BUT I can match the section view style to match the auxiliary view; so if the difference was intentional, this shouldn't be possible as well.

 

So to circle back to the original question: how do we match the styles of the auxiliary view to the (nicer) style of the section view?
