Integral arrowhead

When changing a leader arrowhead from Closed filled to Integral, the Integral block comes in rotated. I'd prefer the block be perpendicular to the leader. For years I've simply edited the block and rotated it.

 

Would it be possible to modify the programming of my Cad install so I could perpetuate a rotated version of the Integral block? Perhaps I could modify a template or a shp file somewhere in the programming that would accomplish this?

 

Thank youTop: Default    Bottom: DesiredTop: Default Bottom: Desired

I don't know where AutoCAD pulls the definition of that Block from when you ask for it to be used.  It doesn't seem to be a drawing file anywhere that you could get into and edit to look the way you prefer.

 

Two things to suggest, both involving the Design Center:

1)  Edit the definition of it in some drawing, and in all drawing template files  you use, import that Block definition from the drawing you've edited it in, via the Design Center.  Then at least for every new  drawing you start, it will be in the drawing in advance, so when you call for it [if you haven't managed to Purge it out first], the revised version will be used, not the definition from whatever AutoCAD's other source is.

 

2)  To cover for drawings in which the "wrong" one is already in place, or in which the "right" one has been Purged before it was ever used, put that revised definition into some identifiable source-of-common-Blocks drawing, from which you can Redefine it easily by way of the Design Center.  That's probably easier than using the Block editor and doing the same alteration procedure on it independently in every drawing.
