titech Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Please help me, I am now using AutoCAD 2007 and I am a new AutoCAD user. How can I draw a vector or a line with one or two arrow ends in AutoCAD ? It is really simple to do that in MS Word ! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Cullen Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 You could have arrow heads as a block and insert them....or you could draw a LEADER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titech Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Thank you Alan Cullen, now I can use the LEADER command. Still I have another question, I will post a new thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gar Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 You could draw a line of the correct length you want, then make a short dimension line, explode that small dimension, move the arrows of the exploded dimension line to where you want, and then delete the left-overs of that exploded dimension line...

Rockford Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 A dbl arrowed Dynamic Block with a Stretch and Rotation feature would be easy to create and use. You can then assign it to a tool palette from which you can drag it into your current drawing. Easy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrding Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Rockford, that sounds perfect... how might one create such a tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Irding: The post you are inquiring about is over two years old. I notice you are using AutoCAD 2000. If that is correct then you will not be able to use Dynamic Blocks since they were not a feature that release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 tichech, welcome to the forums, where are you posting from? Use the "leader" command; properties set what you want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Not you too Tankman. titech posted in 2007. With just 3 posts I'm pretty sure he's been busy doing something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 It's a lisp routine. Load it with the APPLOAD command. Run it by typing DBLARW at the command line and follow the prompts. First though you'll have to copy and paste it into Notepad and save it with the .lsp file extension. Name it anything you like. You do know how to do all this right?

kgp43 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Worked perfectly, thanks a lot. Is it possible to create a button, that activate the DWLARW command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
