Drafting Standards

(OP)
Hi All,

I know that the basics of this question have been asked a thousand times on here, as I have done a number of searches and read lots...

set up a new environment, login in admin mode, etc etc.

So here is my question. I'm having a hell of a time actually manipulating the information in the standards menus to make my drafting standards look the way i need to deliver them to my client...

For instance, a diameter needs to show up with a bent leader at the center of the font line... or my section arrows need to be two short bent arrows, without a bisecting line... I just cant seem to find how to manipulate this data to get what i need.

it's late and i hope that this crazy question makes sense... i guess I can clarify when i wake up if this is just a bunch of rambeling junk...

Thanks for any help...

RE: Drafting Standards

If your client use V5, ask him to give you the standard file...

there is a place hidden in the online doc about the parameter of the standard file... hope that someone could post the link here.
