I am using a user defined leader arrow. The problem is the splined leader line shows up as the wrong color. If I use a straight leader line it shows up as the correct color. I put all my dimensions on a "dim" layer which is red. I have the dimension style set up so that the extension and dimension lines are bylayer so they show as red. I have tried to change the colors in the dimension style to red rather than bylayer. This had no affect.
The user defined leader arrow drawing itself consists of three arcs intersecting to create a nice arrow. I filled this arrow with a hatch (ansi31 rotated 135) All the entities in the leader arrow block are on zero layer and colors are bylayer EXCEPT the hatch which I forced to be a color (252) that my plotter understands as shaded. I'm happy with the arrow, but I can't seem to get the splined leader line to be the right color. The splined leader line wants to be the color of the hatch in the block. If I explode the leader, the spline becomes the correct color. What is going on here? I'm using AutoCAD 2005.
