WE DO INSERT IT AS A BLOCK THERE ARE TWO ARROWS ONE IS NEWER THAN THE OTHER. ONES CALLED NORTH AND THE OTHER IS NORTHA. I CHANGED IT TO THE NORTH IN BLOCK AND IT STILL PUT IT AS THE NEWER N_ARROW HOWEVER WHEN I INSERTED IT AGAIN IT ASKED FOR ROTATION AND SHOWED THE OLDER ONE WHICH IS THE ONE I WANTED

RE: north arrow symbol

I think that's a definition problem.?!
Mail the two block. (adress in my profile)

Try exploding the blocks as much as it will let you, redefine them and then try it again.

RE: north arrow symbol

Yes,

nested blocks? ...and don't forget to "_purge"...

RE: north arrow symbol

"Purge" is a good reminder.  Otherwise, the insert command will keep going back to the old block.  (We all know this - sometimes, we just forget about it for a little while ... )

RE: north arrow symbol

If you insert the block with an "*" before the block name, it will explode it as it is inserted...
