M_Simons Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hello, Does anyone know how to modify the way AutoCAD Electrical populates the reference field of source/destination arrows? For instance when you insert a source/destination arrow AutoCAD automatically populates the reference field with "From" and "To". The appearance of "From" and "To" on a drawing is inconsistent with my company's standard. Is there a way to change this so that AutoCAD does not insert the "From" "To" at all, but will still insert the cross-references I have defined in the project? Or is there a way to modify the text AutoCAD inserts in place of "From", "To"? I am able to manually delete the from and to, however this seems to defeat the purpose of ACADE -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: the above mentioned DWG's are the Signal Arrows I use. If you use different ones, just double click on one that you have used in the past and it will tell you what block name it is saved under. If there is anything else, or if that is not what you were trying to change just let us know. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
