The list contains the names and sample arrow types of the cut lines.To

the left of the arrow names there 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 a cut line. Those arrows with the options enabled 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 has no 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 types of arrows in the list at once. The option can be in one of three states:

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

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

•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 undefined, clicking on the option will disable it, the next click will — turn on.
