Arrow filter

 

Arrow filter

The list contains names and samples of arrow types for mark/reference leaders.

To the left of the arrow names are options that allow you to enable/disable the display of the corresponding arrow types in the Arrow list in the Parameter panel when working with stamps/position markers with indentation lines. Those arrows with enabled options next to their names are available in the document: they are included in the list from which the arrow type is selected when creating an object.

The No arrow option does not have an option. It cannot be disabled, it is always available when creating dimensions in documents.

The option in the list header allows you to enable or disable the display of all arrow types in the list at once. The option can be in one of three states:

enabled  — all options in the list are enabled (all types of arrows present in the list are available in the Parameter panel),

undefined  — the list contains both enabled and disabled options (arrow views with enabled options are shown in the Parameter panel, and those with disabled options are not shown in the Parameter panel)),

disabled  — all options in the list are disabled (only the No arrow view is available in the Parameter panel, other arrows from the list are unavailable).

If the state of an option is not defined, clicking on the option will disable it, the next click will enable it.

Move up

Move down

The buttons allow you to set the order of arrows in the list.

To change the position of an arrow, select it and press the desired button. The selected arrow will move one position in the specified direction.The arrow

order set in this dialog box is passed to the list from which the arrow type is selected when creating the object.

If the first arrow or the first arrows in the list are disabled, the first enabled arrow is the default one.

To speed up the creation of objects in the document, it is recommended to put the arrow type that is used most often on the first position, followed by the other arrow types in descending order of their frequency of use.
