    Thanks

    Is your arrow a block?

    I don't see why you couldn't. Did you run into a problem attempting to do so?

    Post a copy of your drawing so we can take a look at it. Make sure the arrow block is included too.

    The information that you are giving is not quite right.

    You have a custom linetype called Direction, which does not work for 3D polylines.

    If you used an arrow block with the command Measure or divide, you would have no problem.

    Then you have sent the wrong drawing.

    In the drawing posted, there are NO blocks. When I enabled linetype generation, some arrows do not stay on the line - typical behaviour of a complex linetype not properly formed.

    Try exploding your 3D polyline and see what happens
