Section Arrow/Line Length

Is it possible to change the length of the dashed section line (the one that appears with the Arrow Display option under Section; in other words, the dashed line between the section arrows). They now all appear to be the same length, and take up precious space in my crowded drawing

Searched the forums and scanned the options, but couldn't find it so far. tnX!

Oh and what about changing the dimension arrow style? Got ppl that don't like the default (?) ones...

The line between the arrows (on the section cut location) will be dependent on the size of your part.


Arrows for dimesnions are controlled by draw_arrow_style in your .dtl file. There are 3 options, closed, opened and filled. Closed is the default.


Download the Help Topic collection from ptc.com. Drawing control (.dtl) file settings are all explained in the detail.pdf file.

Overlooked that option apparently, tnX!
