AboutScott Cook Expertise I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!

Question i have some kind of silly problem. i am trying to set a dim style that draw dash lines. i can get dash line when i have dimension but using same style i can not get dashed arrows with open arrow. the interesting part is by changing the arrow to closed fill it is dash line!!1 but i need open type arrow. do you know what is going on?
Answer I'd probably make a custom arrow block with the linetypes within set to byblock. try that and see what happens. you'll have to probably experiment a bit with the size and rotation. I suspect you will draw it the actual size that will get multiplied by dimscale. rotation 0 direction probably needs to point in the direction of the leader line (but you'll need to experiment.)
